Or Blackie, W6HLH in San Leandro CA who became an SK not too many years
ago.  Right after getting my General, my Elmer [Art, W6RMK] let me use
his station on phone.  I heard Blackie calling CQ and answered him with
Art's call.  I didn't understand the CQ "embellishments."  We had a
couple of exchanges, and then I told him I was 14 and he was one of my
first phone Q's, from my Elmer's station and that my call was now K6DGW.
  When I turned it back to him, he was calling CQ again.  I figured I'd
really done something wrong, but Art told me who this guy was and to
ignore him.
