As I wrote earlier, on about the 20th of this month I will be posting a new pattern file to be used by RBN nodes for WPX CW.  This contest always brings out the exotic prefixes, so if you're going to field a new one in WPX, let me know by the 20th (by direct e-mail) so it can be included.

Why bother?  Prefixes not in the pattern file are not recognized as readily as ones that are - measured by the number of repetitions required before a station is spotted.  A callsign with a prefix not in the pattern file has to be repeated 4 times before it is recognized.
