[CQ-Contest] Callsigns -- an afterthought

Pete mentioned the fact that if a callsign triggers a memory (like K7RAT you 
remember as 
'RAT' or 'BZR' as 'BEEZER' or 'SX' as 'SEX' and so on.)

The key, as Pete rightly points out as well as others did too, is to get on, be 
active, 
and you will quickly become recognized after a couple of years. Your call will 
start 
showing up in master database lists, people who are regularly active contesters 
will 
recall your callsign - Especially if you happen to be a 'rare' mult or section 
OR have a 
'rare' prefix for WPX!  (or happen to be L O U D like W3LPL HI)
