Justin,

I strongly recommend changing your name to Al, Ed, or Lee.  When someone 
says 'hi' to me, mentally I use the excuse that it would take me too long to 
send their name back in comparison to my own, so a dit-dit usually suffices 
as recognition.  This also very conveniently gives me a get out clause for 
forgetting people's names  :-)

I've built my own version of friends.ini to cater for my forgetfulness in 
phone contests.  I guess it would also be useful for EU Sprint hi.

214 good QSO from me.  Never mind.

73,

Lee G0MTN
