I used to think that when the Army made me say "fife" instead of "five" and "niner" instead of "nine" it sounded stupid. After operating in voice nets, it made perfect sense. 73, Korey YI9VCQ/KA5VCQ

With regard to phonetics, use what works. Never use SPAIN (it's spelled Espagne, and you'll get logged as ECHO). And for non-native-English speakers, the use of phonetics familiar to them always outp

It is definitely one of the reasons I got k1ttt. My old ky1h had 2 bad phonetics. The only problem we have with k1ttt is getting the third t sometimes, there are lots of stations that seem to get k1t

Hi Jukka, It is really strange, and/but true. What about 0 (zero) and 3. Many times stations calling back me as HA3HW but I'm HA0HW. Three is monosyllabic word, the zero is two. Strange. 73 de Laci h

Somehow or another K0SR gets turned into K2SR. I don't get it. "Zeee-Ro" has two syllables and "two" has one syllable. How can 2 and 0 sound the same? I've always assumed that because of our infamous

I'm with the others who say to use what works. e.g. Alpha and Delta can sound identical in difficult conditions. Switch to America and Denmark and you'll get through. I too try to use phonetics famil

He's got a good one - he can say Kilo Seven Sweep Stakes. Maybe I ought to try Whiskey Nine Six Zero on the local repeater and see what happens? :-) 73, Zack W9SZ ____________________________________
