This was your opportunity to work yourself. Sort of a unique unique, something 
for the log-checkers to hyperventilate over. Think teeter-totter, or an M.C. 
Escher drawing.

This could lead to the Ultimate Contest Exchange:

W7RN, test (you)
W7RN 
W7RN (you)
W7RN 
Thank you. W7RN. Test.

And an easy way to work your own state/multiplier, not to mention relieving you 
of the loathesome chore of copying the exchange.

(P.S. It was me in your driveway, but it was my old ICOM IC-735, you idiot (not 
a Kenwood).)
