Do you operate the same call from multiple stations during a  contest or do
you use varying callsigns at these different  locations?

I operate with different calls (the host's call) from each station. All  the 
radios are unique to each station, keeping in line with the one call per  
transmitter rule. I enter separate logs for each station.

That way I become a new station every six hours or so, so I get to work  
everyone several times during the weekend.
 
Thus the rate goes **UP** as the contest goes on, as I become  a more and 
more precious commodity, a new station. Sunday afternoon is  not a drag!
 
My personal challenge is to "beat" the national winner,  i.e. WP3R.  That is, 
the sum of my individual scores is more than  the winner's score.  Some 
years, if propagation is decent, I do.   Other years, especially when there are 
disturbed conditions, I  don't.   
 
I find it somewhat perplexing that more people have not taken up this  
approach to SS, as it is one heck of a lot of fun.
