I noticed that in the 2007 WPX CW contest, the call VE8CDX was
active from station VE3NE.  I only knew this from reading their
3830 score post after the contest. I remember thinking to myself
that they would be VERY popular in SS, until the pileup got all
confused as to what section they were in. But that might be one
way to keep the rate up in Ontario on Sunday. :-)
