To them, callsigns with "/R" on the end are rovers, a single entry operating from multiple grids, not multiple entries operating from (possibly) the same grid. Even if they modify their software to strip off the "-#", then the callsigns become exactly the same. Same call, same grid = duplicate QSO.</div><div id="AppleMailSignature"><br></div><div id="AppleMailSignature">I'm not saying it can't be done, but it's way outside the conventions of the contest which will require re-writing some of their log checking software, which I doubt they have interest in doing for a one shot event.</div><div id="AppleMailSignature"><br><br>Sent from my iPhone</div><div><br>On Apr 14, 2017, at 3:26 PM, Jack Ancona <<a href="mailto:k8ja@comcast.net">k8ja@comcast.net</a>> wrote:<br><br></div><blockquote type="cite"><div>

<div>This may be a little too soon to consider but i was thinking that for this
coming 10ghz contest, we might see about utilizing Lloyd's call. Something like
NE8I-#/r and the number representing a seperate person that used the call. Then
everyone that used it, submit the score(s) just so that his call showed up one
last time in the listing.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I would think he'd like that.</div>
