Tor is exactly right about adding the extra half-space. That's how W3LPL got rid of LW3LPL busts.

On a secondary note, what causes there to be a huge number of EK3LR spots from
all over the world and not a single EK5GO?  I sure would hate to be in Armenia
and have been assigned EK3LR.  Yikes.

Just for fun, try a search for "EK*" on reversebeacon and see what you get...

One way this might happen is if you send your call twice and your call ends in a

dit (like K3LR). The final dit of the call could be interpreted as a separate E.
This is worse
if you use the "shortened inter-word spacing" setting for CW generation. I would
suggest

inserting an extra half-space between sending your call twice if it ends in a
dit.

But random impulse noise could also generate a dit sometimes- that is harder to
control.
