QUACKS
Not Really a Disadvantage in having the QQ in the call I would just as
soon not have any more QQ's out there to cause confusion...

Is that a serious advice? ;) Can't see anything wrong with QQ. Our
club-Station is DK0QQ and it's a nice call for CW and also quite OK for SSB
- not many problems with miscopying so far (although it's mostly used in
VHF-SSB/CW-Contests).
