Optimum call sign for CW?

[sawyer at twg.com]

You mentioned the call TU5NN?  Well, you should meet Linda from 
Oklahoma.  Before she upgraded, her call was N5DWN. After she upgraded,
they gave her the call AA5NN.  You may hear her in the pile-up's.  She
is even in a few contests.

My experience indicates that it's more important to be LOUD than to have 
a great callsign.
