[Elecraft] OT: Call area "gotchas"

[Rose]

After decades as W5TKI beginning in 1951, a move to FL brought WA4HAA.
A Miami area 2M repeater was WB4HAA.  With the tropo ducting common in FL
much confusion resulted.
(In those days a 2x3 call was sure sign of a "newbie".)  Sigh ...

A current confusion factor is being a "zero" in the 7th call area.  Many
assume "MT" is really "MO", placing me in many contest logs as being in
MO.  It sometimes helps to send "de /7K0PP".

Trivia:  There are over 50 Kopp hams in  the US.  Inagine the stampede for
the call when I die!  (I'm now nearing 81.)
