20 years ago when I lived in California I was N6CDA, (California's Dumbest
Amateur). It's not often you can find phonetics that fit like a glove....

Since SS is primarily a "domestic" contest, such stuff is effective. I
still
remember things like "K 4 Worked All Bands" in SS from back in the 70's.

Over the years, I've found that the few stations using creative phonetics
actually stand out in a contest, especially if rules permit working them
only once regardless of band. I am far more likely to remember that I've
already worked N4-Baked-Potato than I am N4-Bravo-Papa. And thus I don't
even need to enter N4BP in my logging software to see if he's a dupe.
