| I remember one year I got wild.  I used the name Throckmorton.  It 
almost always got a repeat request. 
Some guys never did get it.
I remember calling W3XU, an old schoolmate from U Penn when he was at 
Wharton and I was at Penn
Vet school, at W3ABT and later N3KZ.  I called him very qrq and gave him 
the name.  He was the only
one who didn't skip a beat.  He came right back and said Thanks 
Throcky.  LOL 
After the contest, some guys told me that it was too long to fit into 
their logging s/w. 
Other guys, every now and then, will remind me of the time I was 
Throckmorton. 
Sort of like when we used to have the DASH on 75m.  Lots of OT guys 
remember 
one my exchanges: 599 soup [signal report and what you had for dinner]. 
And I remember K1KI's cat's name.  heh heh heh
One year I used the name Zdo, which is the first 3 letters of my work 
email address. 
That got lots of repeat requests too.  Hey...contesting is fun, right!
