KC4TBZ. Where is this station?

I've caught this call sign calling CQ on 28.425 about 4 or 5 days in a row and the call is not listed as valid in any database.
I'm listening to a strong signal in California right now.
I am somewhat of a newb at this so what am I missing?

This is either a new license not yet in the data base, or a bootleg bogus call sign.

I suspect that you did not copy the call sign correctly.

You probably heard KC4TVZ who is notorious on 10M, usually on 28.425 calling for 10-10 Club members and only 10-10 Club members.

Thanks for the replies.
Dang it. I could have sworn I was hearing tango-baker-zulu.
While I could have misheard his call sign I heard nothing about a 10-10 club either.

Judging from a Google search of the call, someone is DEFINITELY actively using KC4TBZ, as recently as this year. But it hasn't been a valid call since 1993 when the original holder changed his call.

Editing to add this link: http://dxfor.me/?_s=KC4TBZ. It suggests someone is using it from Kentucky, 10 meters only, and DX only (or mainly). It would be interesting if someone could track them down, because this person is definitely bootlegging the call.

A search of cluster spots says he is using the name Todd and the city of Atlanta - BUT one spot has grid coordinates and lists his as EM83XM, which is just north of Augusta GA, not Kentucky.  Too many inconsistencies - a pirate for sure.

Hey, come on guys! Just because GOOGLE has hits on KC4TBZ doesn't mean that he's saying TBZ on the air. It just means that many people are hearing TBZ and entering it on line.

- KC4TVZ is licensed to someone named Todd.
- He lives in a suburb of Atlanta.
- Without knowing what phonetics (if any) he is using, "V" and "B" could be easily confused.
- All but one of the posters on dxfor.me have callsigns from countries that are typically non-native English speakers.
- A random sampling of the callsigns on the dxfor.me listing, when entered into KC4TVZ's online log search (on QRZ) show hits.

I think it's pretty clear that for whatever reason, many hams are mis-logging KC4TVZ as TBZ.
