Other stuff:
============
Pirate Activities:
     "For more than a year now an Amateur Radio operator from Southern
     Europe has been pirating the following calls on CW. It started off
     with VU2TS, but only on CW. Then he was switching between VU2TS and
     4U1ITU, when the club was using 4U1WRC, again CW only. Next he
     began using 5H3PM, CW only. The pirate has now recently switched
     over to 5H3MG again CW only." Bernie has "confirmed with Tanzania
     Communications Regulatory Authority (TCRA) that both 5H3 calls are
     not currently registered calls. The signals are clearly coming from
     Southern Europe. You can see his typical operating pattern at
     http://www.dxsummit.fi/#/history?dx_calls=5H3PM,5H3MG&limit=1000&from_time=791553660&to_time=1502972160." 
     Finally, Bernie wonders: "Surely someone from Southern Europe knows
     who is doing this and can help put an end to this."

RI0C - Information via Vasily/R7AL:
     Apparently a pirate was active on July 26 (ca 15z) abusing the call
     of RI0C on 20m. Roland/DJ4LK learned about this when inquiring with
     Vasily why his QSO was missing from the online log.
