   once operated the Gibraltar club station to talk home to a friend on 20m   
   arranged by phone.....after I had finished I have never heard such a   
   pile up calling the Gib callsign.....no idea why people would want to   
   operate a rareish callsign...nightmare...I just ignored them all.....iT
