This file is about 330 lines long.  It traces the name mutations and
permutations in Tree/N6TR's two-hour Internet SprINT held last May.  One of
the rules was the name you sent in any QSO was the name you received in the
previous QSO.

How long did your name last?  Who clobbered it?  Who wants to know?  Want to
see some good examples of the power of suggestion and anticipation?

Connie -> Condie -> Connie -> Condie -> Connie -> Conner -> Condie -> Connie
-> Condor -> Connor.  Hard to say about Art and Arn, though.

Yes, NA4K did.

In the tracings below, "=" means the name was passed to a station who did
send in a log (Goodguy), and "-" to a station who did not (Badguy).  Also,
"?" means the trace was lost, and "." means the name was retired.  Entries
are alphabetical by start-name.  Look especially for entries like this:

 mycall tx# myname       ====-=-=-======goodguy-badguy=
 urcall tx# newname      ===lastcall.

This means that Goodguy's log says he sent Myname to Badguy, who did not
send in a log, but who apparently sent something to Urcall who received
Newname and passed it on.  The error can happen five ways:
    1.  Goodguy mis-sent Myname to Badguy.
    2.  Badguy mis-received Myname as Newname.
    3.  Badguy changed Myname to Newname.  (Who'd do a thing like that?)
    4.  Urcall mis-received Myname as Newname.
    5.  Goodguy or Urcall mis-logged what was really sent/received.
