There's a bunch of FT8 happening on 10.145, a non-standard frequency, really stomping on the Winlink RMSs running around that frequency. Odder still are a lot of people calling a 8Q72W, which I can't find any record of as a call sign. Anyone have ideas? Sometimes DXpeditions will use unusual frequencies, but it seems that surely I'd find SOME evidence of the call...
EDIT: 8Q7ZW is indeed a DXpedition to the Maldives. I was seeing people calling the wrong call sign (2 for Z)
