If you're primarily a CW contester, try to find a call with little or no dits
.... my call is HORRIBLE as the dits get lost in the noise. Thus a call like
K8MM, K8TTT, or something similar would be preferable. For voice contesting,
try to think of something with strong phonetics. Some phonetics like bravo,
alfa, and papa seem to be "soft" sounding, while tango, zulu, mike, and kilo
seem have a "presence" which stands above the noise.
