I am helping with some research about ideal calls in terms of DXing and 
contesting, and was rereading some of the old posts about ideal letters in a 
callsign. I wonder if some combinations can be too short for CW?  Do the single 
character letters like E and T tend to get lost in pileups and require repeats 
a lot?  Would a suffix like EET or TET be problematic?  Or does it help that 
they are shorter to send?
