[CQ-Contest] CQ-Contest Digest, Vol 183, Issue 10

[Hank Greeb]

Yep, if one has a common name, there ARE busted calls and more asks for 
repeats.  But, it eliminates the possibility of people using 
"ASSISTANCE" in the use of info received from OTHERS via a "CALLS LIST" 
imported from a collection of calls in past contests.

I've used IGOR, DUCK, SMURF, and others.  I didn't keep track of 
numbers, but I know that more requests for repeats were requested than 
when I've used "Hank".

I'm sure there are more entries which show a two letter "name" such as 
"ED" or "AL" to save "precious time" in the conest.  To me, the contest 
should test one's ability to copy more than just call letters.
