Try being a "1" station in Misssssissssippppi. MS can, and has, been mis-copied as MA, MD, ME, MI, MB, NH, NS, NB, and NE. Not to mention that "MS" is also the number "7." Last weekend I finally threw in the towel and (mostly) sent "MS" twice. And don't get me started on the subject of having a call sign suffix, "TN," that also is a state abbreviation (and the wrong one, at that -- what was I thinking?).
The only viable solution is to move.

That's like being in GA and later MA with a 3 call - both got miscopied
as PA. I've had many Out-of-State stations call me during the PAQP only
to be disappointed when they got the exchange right. Of course it
didn't help that I was running 100 watts to a low wire.
I finally did move -- to Texas.
