I wonder how productive that really is, as:
1. Many stations would log the ZD8, not bothering to listen for an ID.
Was the LZ smart enough to ID with every QSO?
and
2. It will generate many dupes.
I remember once listening to 8P2A running on 15 SSB. Someone spotted
him as AP2A (at a time when the band was closed to that part of the
world) and all hell broke loose. he had to find a new freq it got so bad.
