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.
