[SOC] 56s

[David Evans]

My suggestion for "all the Good Numbers" might lead to some confusion if operators just pick one at random.

However.... CW abbreviation to ATGN would include AGN in true SOC style

159s

FOCers sign their QSOs with "161" (73+88).

It's been suggested in the past that SOCers sign theirs
with "159" (72+87).  When I entered the open FOC Bill Windle QSO Party a 
month or so ago as W1SOC, I did reply to an occasional
"161" with "159".  In each case, they got it and responded
with a "hi, hi".
