Regarding /ROK versus other possibilities...FCC rules prohibit using 
self-assigned identifiers that are prefixes from other countries.  That means 
no /R and no /RR and no /RK or any other two-letter combination you can think 
of beginning with R - they're all potential Russian prefixes.  There are a very 
few, very obscure non-allocated prefixes, but they would be far more confusing 
than ROK.

This is a Rookie contest, so don't expect the three-letter suffix to have a 
major effect on rate or score.
