I have found a simple approach to understanding phonetics of a dx =
contest station. Sometimes I cannot understand the call sign of a =
strong station. I figure half the problem is at my end and the other =
half is at the transmitting end. Repeats do not seem to help. So I say =
73 and listen for awhile. If I listen long enough, some kind soul on =
this end will repeat his call sign and I can log that. =20
I always figured that bad phonetics were much better than none at all. =
At least if you hear a call sign with phonetics you have something to =
think about. Hearing no call sign for 20 minutes has always bothered me =
a bit. =20
