Short callsigns, especially on CW, probably help the rate. But, a callsign
like W3LPL has the huge advantage of being known by everyone from years of
top-notch operations.
Operating 80 meters there, I hear things like "hey... there he is" and "hi
Frank" frequently. It's pretty obvious that everyone knows the call.
In LPL's case, the callsign recognition outweighs the length. The antennas
don't hurt either :)
