[CQ-Contest] Names in NAQP

[Jim Brown]

Many top operators use a short nickname or a shortened version of their 
name. It is also quite common for many operators to honor a comrade by 
using his name for a contest.  Recent honorees have included KL7RA, 
K3LP, and Robin Williams.

My given name is James, I go by Jim. Lots of Peters use Pete. WHAT name 
you use doesn't matter -- it only matters that you use the SAME name for 
the entire contest and that you put that name in your log. FWIW, Yuri is 
no longer all that rare a name in North America. AA3B uses Bud. NO3M, 
whose given name is Eric, uses Ty.

73, Jim K9YC
