Off topic a bit but N1EN's post struck a chord. 

Just for kicks I performed a RBN spot search for my call and the following
spots came up during a period of time that I was QRT.  I did not operate at
all on Sunday.  Interesting....perhaps the skimmers misinterpreted a like
call sign?

One datapoint to support this:  I just looked up my call at RBN.  It
appears that I was spotted 30 times this weekend.

However, I was 100% S&P during the contest.   I did not call CQ at all this
weekend.
