So why not to use S5AA - S5AZ and say S5NA - S5NZ for WRTC competitors?
Seem much better than confusing and long S511A, etc. Prefix for WPX awards is 
only first two or three letters, any other letters after that are redundand, 
confusing, cumbersome, long and instead of helping in any way, rather making 
things complicated. 

S5A type calls are used for promotion and competitors get "blessed" with long 
and confusing calls. Shouldn't it be the other way around?

Now that antenna switches are allowed, taken care for. Can also competitors 
bring their own switches? It would help sponsors to reduce number of possible 
needed switches to be supplied and it would help competitors to avoid 
problems and surprises. 

Lets make it easier and less error prone (for competitors).
