[Elecraft] Vanity call question

[Fred Jensen]

Interesting Bert, and great on CW.  It has always seemed to me that 
Morse characters that begin with a dit, when strung together, seem to 
have a "clean" rhythm.  Perhaps the epitome is W1AW, but K4AR does 
pretty good too.  N6KR is pretty good even though 3 of the 4 start with 
a dah.  K6DGW sort of sucks in this department, 4 of the 5 are 
dah-starts.  By the time vanity licensing came along, I'd had the call 
long enough that I didn't want to give it up.

73,

Many select a vanity call that represents their name or initials. Some because the call comes close to spelling a word that has significance for them. Some because it represents an area of interest.
