Can you say that after three beers?

A short fun call was "Eight Papa Eight Papa"   Easier to say, especially a few 
thousand times.

Not necessarily a prefix, but one of the best calls I ever worked was WE1RDO.

One of the fun things about the WPX contest is the number of multipliers.  
Every new prefix worked helps build the score. Ray NM2O has looked at the TI7W 
log from last year and made a list of the USA prefixes worked.

See https://cqwpx.com/blog/some-wpx-statistics/ for details.

Want to be rare this weekend?  Find a prefix that is not usually active and put 
it on the air!
