cancelled and no new information on the event was available.

Ron, KG6HSQ, reported that we had a bootlegger (monkey) on 2m and 440 last evening. He
represented himself as Martin a radio amateur from Portland with a call sign of WFBNA114
(clearly not an amateur call) and transmitting on the THREE meter band. His signal from several
observers indicates he is in Fallbrook. He proceeded to make some additional comments and
play music on 2m and 440.
