Yeah... especially when it takes 5+ tries to get OM's call sign correct.

        Here's a fun chance to work a bunch of stations on 10 Meters this weekend.  The band will be jumping and you can bag a bunch of QSOs for WAS,  DXCC, or just for fun.

        The contest runs from 0000Z Saturday 13 Dec to 2359Z Sunday 14 Dec.  The exchange is easy: signal report (it's always 59 in a contest!) plus your state (presumably MD or VA).

        All the info is found at: http://www.arrl.org/10-meter

        Here's an idea.  How about going to the museum and operating K3NHK?  You could operate Single Op, Low Power using your call, or if there are a couple operators, go Multi Op, Single Tx, Low Power.  The station has a nice rig and a beam antenna, so you will be able to bag lots of Qs.  If you are not sure about operating the station, let me know and I'll check you out!
