Rich, I personally thought it was funny to get you as "that name"
instead of Rich as I know you. I know that I did a double take before I
called you as I heard you working someone else. The call was familiar,
but the name threw me. I, like you, was fighting a cold, so I listened
to one more QSO before I jumped in. You using that name was no
different from the CO stations last year using "Bronco". I personallly
use "Lee" instead of my first name because it is much easier to spell
and keeps me from having to repeat the spelling over and over. I threw
WX3B and W4MYA for a loop because those guys know my real name and they
had already typed it in . To those who are confused or just didn't
listen to you, that is their loss. They should not be massaging their
logs anyway.
Again, Rich, I want to applaud you on your creativity.
