[ILQSO] Signing Portable in SSB

[w9dy at juno.com]

Hi,   I like your call!

I would not even bother with the portable after my call.   I would rather
just say AA9DY Jo Daviess.     That would attract more attention.   The
suffix, portable, shouldn't make any difference in log checking unless
Danny, Jim, et al have something else to say about this.   
I ALWAYS operate mobile due to antenna restrictions and my main problem
is with mostly Spanish speaking hams who hear my weak signal as W9DY
ROMEO   Mobile sounds too much like Romeo.   HI.  
GL    Will probably be a romeo station this year.
