In the 1977 ARRLDXCW contest, I remember working C3PO and R2D2.  :-)

I also remember working RG8U in CQWWSSB around that time, and, not long 
after that, RG8X.

Commonly worked were F0OL, Z1LCH, PH0OEY

Actual calls were OH2BAD, and a few callsigns ending in ASS, one of 
which was worked by many stations in a DX contest.

Best CW calls, if sent ~ 50 WPM, were 5E5E and EE5E.  There may also 
have been a 5H5SH but I'm not sure.   :-)

One of the stranger SSB calls from decades ago had to be TG0FRACAP.
