I think one advantage of using a name is that it is quickly obvious to the
casual listener what the basic exchange format is. I have been doing a lot
of 2m contests recently and find that even there a significant proportion
(about 5%) dont know their locator - I suspect the proportion would be
much higher on 80m. It is also nice to get people's names. Of course, most
contest programs will autofill them if set-up that way.
I find it bizzare that people will change their names to attempt to gain
extra points (and would like to say that I have always used Ric as my name
on CW!).
