Topband: RE66 in the SP test

Well, I thoroughly enjoyed the Stew, and even managed to beat my own 
record, working 85 QSO's.  For those 85 though, I guess I must have sent 
my grid RE66 about a thousand times.  I have been wondering why it 
seemed so difficult to get across, and I have found the same in previous 
years.

Is it that  the grid is unexpected, not beginning with C, D, E, or F?  ;-)

Is it that the double 6 at the end is difficult to copy?

Does the single dit get lost between the R and 66?

Several guys got it right on the 1st or second attempt, but then didn't 
seem to believe that they had it, and asked for cfm a couple of times.  
One even got the cfm, and then started again with nr agn!!!

Anyone any ideas?
