Good point. I know my old call (K4DGW) was in the SCP. Obviously, it
being my first contest with the new call, it is not in there, thus I
come up as a Unique.
I noticed lots of requests for repeats, and initial hesitancy while
they looked up my call. This was confirmed late Sunday when I logged
into QRZ, just to confirm the GMT time. I threw my call in there. I
had gone from 5 or so lookups, to over 250. That generated a pretty
good chuckle.
