[SOC] Re: GB> OT: Vanity Callsigns

[Al Parker]

Don't mean to offend, but I don't like any for use on CW.  Pick a quick
one, that's not easily screwed up.  Q's & Y's, etc, are long & messy.
    I picked mine, over 20 yrs ago, because it would be good, I thought, on
CW.  Have had very little problem, except the young operator who was
operating a 2m VHF contest station on SSB.  She couldn't understand my call
in CW, no matter how slowly I sent it, nor would she ask anyone for help.
I never did get that multiplier.  I don't know how she could legally
operate the stn, she obviously had no supervision.  (I didn't have fone
capability at the moment.)
    Guess I can get OT too.
