Anyone hearing any good ones?? :confused: 10 was hopping this morning, did hear an Africa mobile

Question.. If this guy is calling cq 10-10 he's looking for contact with only 10-10 members, not the general ham ranks? Correct I hear this guy calling, recorded calls over and over....no one can call back the frequency is tied up with his transmit. I did hear a few weeks ago him jump on a...
