I used to really enjoy listening to Bob Furzer when he was 9K2ZZ ... "AA,
whatever and wherever you are, you're 59" ... "ZZ, what kind of call is
that ... you're 59" :-)
I think it's actually faster to give your whole call in the CONTEST; that
way if the other station copies it OK you don't have to spend any more
time at it.

Dear Colleagues & Contesters 'round the Globe!

SSB score for HK0/KH8AL. They were "Multi-Multi" with multi-multi problems
which he didn't elaborate on to any degree. Ops. were KH8AL, JH1NBN,
JI3ERV, and YB3ASQ.
