The W1AW Bulletin station has been doing that for years. The error was on the
part of the W1AW/0 (MO) operator for setting up and calling CQ on the published
W1AW broadcast frequency.
It would be interesting to see a poll taken of the amateur community on the
need for ARRL W1AW broadcast station. Broadcasting was good when it was created
but may no longer be useful or used. Maintaining a club station for member use
has value; however, I would rather see the operational cost of broadcasting
channeled into more useful projects, like LoTW.
