NN4 is pretty unusual. While AA4 is pretty common, it much more rare  
today than 20 years ago, since most people have upgraded to vanity  
calls with W, K or N. But I've never found any advantage to the AA4  
prefix in WPX. You'd be a different multiplier, but in WPX multipliers  
are pretty much rate-based anyway. Work 'em quickly enough, and you  
end up getting lots of them.

You're probably better off with the N4, but running the NN4 might be  
fun, anyway. I doubt it will have any effect on your score. Your choice.
