[Elecraft] How to pronounce the "/"?

The last two weeks of May I will be staying in Denmark and of course I'll
take my K3 with me. Normally there's not much time to play with the radio
but during these two weeks of vacation I will have some time to have some
fun on the bands.
Now, it's not the first time I've been in OZ but recently I discovered that
I may have pronounced the "/" incorrectly. During previous visits I used to
say "Oscar Zulu Stroke Papa Delta Two Romeo".
But I noticed the NA stations pronounce the "/" as "portable". After
realizing that "stroke" means a very bad condition involving the loss of
brain function, it sure sounds stupid.
So I guess I should say "Oscar Zulu Portable Papa Delta Two Romeo", am I
right?

I know it's a bit OT but I don't want to sound like an idiot anymore ;-)
