Gee, I did that last year as W6AX and N6IG.  Boy, did the contest 
"community", at least as represented on the reflector here, have a fit!  
I got all sorts of complaints, threats, and comments that people were 
going to lobby the league to "put a stop to this" and change the rules.  
After all, "it wasn't fair";  I couldn't really understand that thought, 
I was giving EVERYONE ELSE two QSOs and I was removing myself from 
serious competition in the Pacific Division.  And I was happy to see the 
rules weren't changed.

I was going to try it this year with THREE callsigns, but am suffering a 
serious case of contest burnout at the moments.  Thanks to the good 
Doctor for keeping the tradition alive.

73 and Happy Holidaze...
