[CQ-Contest] Contest Operation With Confusing Callsigns

[ae327 at lafn.org]

Dear Andrei,

If you have any sympathy for the people who check logs, please use W2/NP3D.

If one of your goals is that the NP3D operation have an overall positive effect 
on the scores of all the participants that you work, please sign W2/NP3D.

If, on the other hand, you desire to test the copying skills of those that work 
you, you can sign something that is likely to cause confusion like NP3D or 
NP3D/2. A good number will log your zone incorrectly and lose credit. This will 
happen whether you send in a log or not. It will take log-checking effort to 
make this happen. It could prompt inquiries to the committee such as, "Why did 
I lose credit?"

Whatever you choose, please send in your electronic logs. No matter how small 
your effort is, your actual log facilitates the log-checking process.

Good luck this weekend.

73,

Hello dear fellows contesters!

I am new here and have a question, please.

My call is NP3D and I live in Bayside, NY. I am going to participate in coming 
CQ WW CW Contest. Can someone suggest me what callsign I should use in the 
contest? I do not want to use W2/NP3D or NP3D/W2 - this is too long I hope you 
understand me. I could use NP3D/2 but this call looks like from KP2? I if use 
just NP3D this will confuse the people who thinks that I am working from Puerto 
Rico. 

I posted a message in several Bullettines that NP3D is in Zone 5 USA, not in 
Zone 8, PR. But someone told me that many people do not read the bulletines and 
do not update their Contest programs. Last cty.file changed my zone to zone 5.
What should I do considering three days left to the Contest?

Thank you and see in the contest

Andrei EW1AR/NP3D
