Hi Fabian

Since you know there are issues with your call, perhaps you could get
a "contest" callsign?  Use your other call the rest of the time...

My first call was VE3HHS (try THAT in a contest!)  Bad on phone, worse
on CW.  I was very happy to trade that one in once I realized how bad
it was :-)

Tom - VE3CX
