[CQ-Contest] What callsign to use in CQ WW CW 2003?

[David Robbins K1TTT]

My .02... I like to analyze things.

Sign only np3d.
Good - short
Bad - anyone who copies call and zone and is awake will ask for a repeat
on the zone and may argue with you or will assume you are a lid and log
the wrong zone anyway.  Anyone who just copies call will call, even
pileups of zero pointers...  dx spots will draw piles of stateside zero
pointers.   all possibilities waste time, probably lots more time than
adding /w2.

Sign np3d/w2
Good - no question on zone, no pileups of zero pointers (well, except
for the lids who will be there anyway).
Bad - longer.

Best answer... speed up sending call a bit to save time on cq's and
qrz's and send /w2.
