[CQ-Contest] Should I sign portable zero in WAE next weekend?

Hi Barry:

I never sign /3 in WAE for the reasons you cite.  Since you're just playing around, you could pass out the "0" multiplier if you wanted.  I think your analysis of the pros and cons is spot on!

Not much help, is it!  :-)

73,

I plan on playing around in WAE next weekend - nothing serious as 
working Europe from Colorado is too depressing.

In the contest, each US call area is a mult.  My question is: Should I 
sign W2UP or W2UP/0?
Pros:  0's are less common than 2's as heard in Europe, so maybe some 
stations will seek me out.
            It will explain my weak signal.
Cons:  It's a longer callsign.
             It will mess up my LOTW and clublog submission, as there 
will be a mismatch if I submit under W2UP (correct?)

Barry W2UP(/0)
