I agree with Mike that this is a great convention that should be
adopted by all in the contest.  Seeing AP9Z followed by AP9Z/Busted
was not only informative, but amusing too.

In this case, it was 8P9Z that was the actual DX station.

We were hooked up to a EU cluster via Internet most of the day
Saturday due to our local packet cluster being down due to a power
outage.  It's very interesting to see things from the other side for a
change.  There's also a ton of VHF/UHF/SHF activity over there.
