Nothing back from the email yet. Anyone want to try calling him?

No thanks.
When I first started pirating my old phone number got out. I used to get calls from a guy who wasn't sure if I was Radio Bob or Al Fansome? (I'll admit the cheap mic I was using made me sound like Radio Bob on the air.) He calls one night and yell's, "Goddammit Bob, I know it's you!" He was from up North and everyone w/ a Southern accent probably sounded the same to him?
When the Fansome calls started I noticed the number on that new-fangled invention known as "Caller ID" matched up with the Radio Bob caller. I waited until about 2:30 AM on Wednesday and returned one of his call's. A woman answers and she's not very happy about being awakened. I explained to her my wife had got a call about 10:30 asking for Al Fansome and I tell her I'm not him, it's a pirate radio alias. She growls, "I'll go get the guy who's been calling you." and I can hear the doppler shift in her yelling as she heads down the hall to get him up, that woman was on the warpath. She yell's "Get up! That man you've been pestering is on the phone. You and that damned pirate radio!" and she berates him all the way to the phone.
He gets on the phone and I tell him "My name isn't Al Fansome, why are you calling here all the time?" He goes, "I was looking for an old Army buddy of mine named Al Samson." I say, "Sure you were. And you were looking for your old pal Radio Bob when you were calling here a couple months ago? Don't call me again, I know your name and phone number, I can find out where you live.", and hung up
I never heard from him again.
There are a lot of weird people in this hobby, both op's and DX'er's. Have someone tell you the story of "Lad" of "Voice of The Night". He's in a Kentucky prison for the second time, he's at least a two time felon. It's hard to tell what he did as a juvenile, the records are sealed.
