i have no way of knowing who was there first in the first instance, looking at 
the packet history of when i came across them, it's hard to say - they were 
both spotted within 2 minutes of each other.  the second instance, the rare 
mult was clearly there first as the other station left the frequency of the 
first instance and found a spot right next to the KH6 station.  that was the 
clincher for me - the KH6 was spotted and within a few minutes the other 
station shows up just next to him.

i would not have said anything if it didn't seem odd - how many dupes does it 
take to realize they are trying to work someone else on nearly the same 
frequency- 3, 4, 5???  while i was in the pileup for the KH6, i heard the 
offending station saying "you're a dupe" more than a few times.  

if i had recorded it, it would be very obvious this operator was conscience of 
the KH6 and was trying to siphon off qso's in the pileup - i guess when you run 
a multi in SS you have to resort to all manner of tactics to keep the rate 
up... nevermind good operating practice or Part 97 rules.
