I have used Mike and Thor, Spock, and most recently Curly because the US
won gold in Curling! I probably used some others. Thor seems to be the
one many remember from years gone by though. It will throw people off
and you will get more repeats. Curly was well accepted!

I remember one year I got wild. I used the name Throckmorton. It
almost always got a repeat request.
Some guys never did get it.
I remember calling W3XU, an old schoolmate from U Penn when he was at
Wharton and I was at Penn
Vet school, at W3ABT and later N3KZ. I called him very qrq and gave
him the name. He was the only
one who didn't skip a beat. He came right back and said Thanks
Throcky. LOL
After the contest, some guys told me that it was too long to fit into
their logging s/w.
Other guys, every now and then, will remind me of the time I was
Throckmorton.
Sort of like when we used to have the DASH on 75m. Lots of OT guys
remember
one my exchanges: 599 soup [signal report and what you had for dinner].
And I remember K1KI's cat's name. heh heh heh
One year I used the name Zdo, which is the first 3 letters of my work
email address.
That got lots of repeat requests too. Hey...contesting is fun, right!
