[ADXA] Hard call sign in Morse

[Nick Kennedy]

Hey Jay,

Your link caused my browser to shut down. Twice.

OK - not your fault - I tried opening YouTube without the link and it
happened again.

But I really wanted to comment on the HD-10 keyer. Whoa, terrible keyer.
Those microswitches would cause misfires and I don't need any help making
errors. Did a nice job of matching my HW-101 though.  I finally bought a
Brown Brothers paddle and built an Accu-Keyer from the '76 Handbook.

As far as calls that are hard to copy - I dunno. Used to hear that too many
dits was bad because they'd get lost in QRN.  But in recent years I've
heard a number of folks opt for the 'ESE' shave and a haircut suffix.

Playing with RUFZ, it's generally the *prefixes* that get me. I don't have
them hard wired into my memory like a real DXer should.  Was that a 5 or an
H?
