Unauthorized use of contest call

Charles, M0OXO reports, "Over the last few weeks, I have been made aware that my short contest callsign has been used several times by an unauthorized person and maybe during contests too.

"No-one has had permission to use this callsign and I have no knowledge who the offender may be.

"My short contest callsign is M0X and this has been used along with a regional designator of the Island of Guernsey.
The callsign use (which I now assume is a Pirate) was "MU0X" and was certainly used on CW although I am not yet aware of any other modes.

"There are several 'spots' on the DX Cluster for the callsign, and there have also been several requests for QSL cards.
If you have this callsign in your log then the contacts are obviously invalid as I have never operated from the Island of Guernsey.

"Please bear in mind the callsign of "MU0X", and if you hear it on air please report it to me on my E-mail address.

"There will be some Amateurs out there who think they have just worked Guernsey on a new band, mode or even an all time new one, but sadly, they will be very disappointed."
