Don't consider upgrading to extra class. Just do it.
>... I am a phone op not a cw op.
I'm sorry. To some, the code seems an antiquated, slow, almost utterly
useless exercise in futility. To others, it's beautiful music. To me, both
modes are beautiful music. However, one can make beautiful music with one's
voice alone, but a great deal of the finest music would be very empty indeed
if it were reduced to the human voice unsupported by musical instruments.
Try to imagine all of your favorite music -- from rock and roll to
classical -- being performed vocally without the support of musical
instruments.
My own life would seem as empty without the code. Certainly the code
requires time and effort to learn, and just as certainly the code does not
become fine music if the required time and effort has not been invested. It
is the same as learning to play a musical instrument to add to the music of
one's voice. At first, the time and effort may seem unrewarding and the
results may be disappointing. But, with sufficient investment of time and
effort learning, the music becomes its own reward and the task of learning
gives way to the effortless pleasure of the performance.
I enjoy the virtuoso vocal performance, with or without instrumental
back-up. But after 48 hours in a chair wearing headsets a CW contest still
sounds like a symphony to me, while some phone contests will seem to
degenerate into angry riots before the end due to my personal level of
operator fatigue. It's a much more strenuous physical effort to yell into a
microphone very fast than it is to diddle a paddle. And copying CW through
interference is relatively easy and less anger inducing by comparison to
phone.
> Mine is a 2X3 call.
I'm sorry. A Technician class or higher is customarily privileged to a 1X3
license or similar. Your callsign is not merely long, it is unattractive
and forgettable. It's an abominable callsign to send in code, and the
phonetics are nearly as bad. If you'd like to do contesting, you owe it to
yourself to everything possible to change it. Otherwise, your scores will
be forever disappointing. Don't count on getting a 1X2 right away -- they
will probably be all gone. For phone contests, you deserve to treat
yourself to a memorable callsign with poetry in phonetics. Choose a good
one.
> Is it possible to have a second shorter call (1x2) and still keep my 2x3
> call also?
Why? Is it possible to be first beautiful and then ugly in rapid
succession? Of course! Many women have made a career of this.
