I challenge anyone to beat me in a “Work The Weirdest Callsign” Challenge - A Canadian station worked this morning using FT8 on the 80m band:

The USA based operator must have been in CW in that case and shorting the 9 into an n like we do when working rubber stamp / contest QSOs Alan.
Yes, I purposely got up in the middle of the night to work 1A0C on the 60m band, to finish off working SMOM on all 11 bands Andy, 160m through 6m. Needless to say it had to be done using FT8… When I have a nocturnal session I usually look around all the HF bands for any stations of interest to log and this callsign was one of them!

Not too sure Richard but when I saw it I thought He’s having a laugh and I was in two minds wether to try and get him. lol
Last year it was “CATGIRL”. I’m not sure how that can be interpreted as “promoting the woke agenda”.
Anyway, shouldn’t we all be promoting the woke agenda this day and age? Unfortunately most people don’t know what woke means, having never bothered to check the dictionary definition.
I’m woke and I’m proud.

I think that debating the pros and con’s of planet woke is too far off topic to procede with, guys, it has potential to get as abrasive as a recently closed thread, so please give it a rest.

Luck of the game, Phil - I’m about to be dragged kicking and screaming to the supermarket so I’ll be off duty for some hours!
