I use KZ7X (RTTY/SSB) and WK7S (CW).  I think they are both totally unique mults.  It's hard to quantify any increase in score, but I do find that callers tend to stick around and try again if they don't get through the first time.

What are people thoughts on using a totally unique prefix in the 2 x CQWPX
contests?

Do you feel it increases your score any appreciable amount ? 5%? 10%

Not being assisted very much I have very limited experience "clicking on
spots" but I can at least imagine a scenario whereby S&Pers are only
clicking on Mults and not also regular Q's who would not have a unique
prefix...but how much, I have no idea.

Thoughts?
