Several people have written about "FU" suffixes....I got my
ticket at the University of Florida club station, which
has the call W4DFU.
One time in an SSB contest, there was some horrible pileup that
we were trying to break After trying for awhile, we
finally decided to just give the last two letters of the call,
by opening the mic and having several club members
chant "F-U! F-U! F-U!"
Immediately, a ham radio enforcement type came on
the frequency and said in a commanding tone
"FU! What's your call?!"
I remember taking great pleasure in saying
Whiskey Four Denmark Fox Uniform.
I always wondered if he looked it up in the book and then
had a bit of a laugh when he saw it was
a college club station...
