It can be even more fun when its like 'nu1p(k1mk @ k1ttt)' which is a common
occurrence for wpx where it can be helpful to 'borrow' a rarer prefix. At
my station I let guest ops make the choice if they are s/o or are organizing
their own multi-op, if they want to use my call they can otherwise they can
use whatever call they want. If I am organizing a m/m for the big contests
we normally use my call, though we have used other calls at times in the
past.
