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
contest. To me, the contest should test one's ability to copy more than just
call letters.71/72 de n8xx
