Yep, if one has a common name, there ARE busted calls and more asks for
repeats. But, it eliminates the possibility of people using
"ASSISTANCE" in the use of info received from OTHERS via a "CALLS LIST"
imported from a collection of calls in past contests.
I've used IGOR, DUCK, SMURF, and others. I didn't keep track of
numbers, but I know that more requests for repeats were requested than
when I've used "Hank".
I'm sure there are more entries which show a two letter "name" such as
"ED" or "AL" to save "precious time" in the conest. To me, the contest
should test one's ability to copy more than just call letters.

My name is Ria and I hate the exchange in NAQP because I don?t have a
common name. Too many repeats.
