[CQ-Contest] Here's an idea...

[W0MU Mike Fatchett]

I have used Mike and Thor, Spock, and most recently Curly because the US 
won gold in Curling!  I probably used some others.  Thor seems to be the 
one many remember from years gone by though.  It will throw people off 
and you will get more repeats.  Curly was well accepted!
