Re: [CQ-Contest] Best callsign letters

Watch out for country names like SPAIN which
will be recorded as an "E" for Espagne by
spanish speakers; I got hundreds of QSLs
to KG4CE in the first batch when I was KG4CS
and quickly discarded Spain (CUB SCOUT worked).

And EI "portable" W5GN is almost always heard
as EI4W5GN - "slash" works best with Eastern
Europe, but "stroke" seems to be better heard
in the British Isles.
