Gee Al,

If you log a QSO with T0T on your forehead that might work, and it might 
work for a few other magical callsigns, but most other forehead logging 
entries would look like Cyrillic when viewed in a rearview mirror.

Best way for mobiles to hand out an occasional QSO in  a serious contest, 
as I see it, so as to not cause dupe difficulties to those contesters that 
cannot tolerate same, might still be to pull off the side of the road and 
keep a log with a Big Chief pad of paper and a bold #2 lead pencil.

Unless something of the such is done, the poor unfortunate duped contesters 
will have to use the built in no-brainer features of their software to 
correct for duplicate QSOs at the end of the contest, and that is really an 
inconvenience.
