When I have got my callsign
I sometimes spent in the Air 8 hours per day. I have used only
CW. I look for interesting stations so I mostly heard the Air.
Several times I heard how a station with the same callsign
like mine worked in the Air with another stations. Copy cat, I
thought, but very talent copy cat because he sent CW practically
like me... When I have read the article I recognize that may be
I have heard me from others times. "There are things, which we can not know, but
it is impossible have known, what is these things". In 1973 I was a schoolboy who is a radio fan. I made
a wireless adapter (schematic was published in soviet magazine
Radio). I t was one- transistor VHF transmitter that can be received
in distance of 10 meters. I connected the adapter to my tape recorder
Nota and enjoyed hearing of the record of music of a local jazz-
band from my home receiver that was switch on to VHF band. The
receiver was placed in the distance of 5 meters from the tape
recorder. When the tape was finished and tape recorder was stopped
I turn the receiver to HF- band. Suddenly, when I look for HF
stations (as usual I look for Voice of America), I heard the music
that I transmitted 15 times ago. Like a stupid I stared to my
stopped tape recorder with standing tape and heard the music with
all defects that was on my tape. Unknown station had transmitted
all the music and stopped at the same place like at my tape. After
that only the silence was at the frequency... I was astonished
I could not understand nothing... I was heard my broadcasting after near 15 minutes
when I had stopped the tape. More, I had heard the broadcasting
on another frequency (in another band!). Until today I can explain
the situation only like devil's joke... I. G.: Also I have
received on my email some very interesting feedbacks to the article
Time Warp. One feedback I paste below. The ham, who sent me that
feedback, has agreed to publish it only under condition of complete
anonymity. == I want to describe a strange case which has taken
place with me.

For the 160 meters I have used a home made one band
transceiver (design of UA1FA, Radio #4, 1980) with PA made on
3x GU50 (GU50- a Russian tube, can give near 100 watts at 160
meters). In that summer I have done lots interesting QSO's. From
these QSOs I have remembered a QSO with 4X4xxx, In the winter of 1993 the sloper
was broken by a storm wind as well as the storm broken my antennas
for HF- an I.V. for the 40 meters and an UW4HW (broadband vertical)
that I have used for the 20 and 15 meters. I could not fix the
antennas straight away after storm. Then, in the 1993, my company
did global cutting and I was dismissed. My live turned down I
looked for any job and I had no time to fix my antennas and to
work in the Air. In 1996 I was emigrated to Through several years of my life in Israel I found
a job at a very good company according to my qualification of
Electronics Engineer. It was amused but in one of the departments
of the company it was worked a ham with whom I had QSO in 1992.
I talked with him about the QSO, it is occurred that he also had
remembered the QSO, he sent me a QSL
and did not get nothing... I told him that I also had not received
his QSL. Through several days he met me and gave me a QSL for
the contact. On the QSL the date was 1993, when I did not work
in the Air. I told him about the mistake. On the other day he
brought his log for 1993 where the QSO was written. I did not
want looks like an idiot (only got good job), so, I told him,
well, it is my mistake, of course, the QSO was in 1993... But
I know that I did not work in the Air in 1993! ==
