Does nobody here understand the concept of adjusting your operating style to
suit your audience?
If I'm at PJ2T in the midst of a big opening to the states (or EU) during
CQWW where I'm one of the few loud signals on the band, I'm going to be very
quick and brief. If I'm operating the NAQP SSB early in the day on 40
meters,
I'm going to slow down and sound like "KB3ABC, good afternoon, my name is
Jim... in... Ohio". Not "KB3ABC Jim Ohio"
If I'm working stateside, I'll tend to use Kilowatt Eight Mike Radio; if I'm
working Europeans, where a "kilo" is a standard everyday quantity, I'll more
likely use "Kilo Eight Mike Radio".
Of course, it is always better to mix it up between standard phonetic
options: America and Alpha, Delta and Denmark, Kilo and Kilowatt, etc.
Eventually you will come out with something everyone will understand. This
may be
even more important when your target audience is not a native speaker of your
language.
