Well when you're not that big of a contester, it doesn't really matter how
you call sounds in a contest ;^)

That's what I was trying to tell Rob on another list.  That's the
difference
between a "hard" call (ending in a dah), and a "soft" call (ending in a
dit).

In contest-like operations, a string of dits, such as "H" often gets
shortened, being interpreted as an "S."
