OT - Special amateur radio callsign honoring Steve Jobs

This would probably be slightly less OT in *.misc, but I don't hang
out there so will beg the indulgence of the folks here. I think you'll
find it interesting.

A friend of mine is working the CQ Worldwide CW contest this weekend
and just mentioned that he worked a station that's part of a group
of hams who are using the callsign "HB9STEVE" this month in honor of
Steve Jobs. I found an information page about them here:

That's very sweet of them. Wish I had an HF rig set up so I could
work them.

I don't think I've ever seen such a long suffix on a ham call!
They must not care about winning the contest, or they would have
gone with a callsign that doesn't take so long to send, like HB9SJ!
But this one is certainly clearer as to its intention to honor Steve.
