Everyone calls CQ BERU, which really sounds rather nice.  CC is 
generally considered by the regulars to be sad.   Most of the non-BERU 
types who've been around for a while will resign themselves to it being 
That Weekend and as a G I get very few anomalous callers.   I would 
suggest not working these during the contest period to avoid people 
getting the wrong idea.  Nigel and others who travel to DX places tend 
to come up for a couple of days before the event to get the first few 
layers of non-BERUers out of the way.

Good luck!
