[time-nuts] Watch out for a scam by Alex Barski. VE3XAX

[Will Matney]

I think everyone will find that the guys call sign account has been hacked,
or compromised somehow. As the one posted knew the real ham personally, I'd
say this is what has happened. He should let him know about this, so he can
look into it, as not only was there the Kenwood in question, but also an
antenna to somebody else.

Best,

Will
