DX input on "GOOD CALLSIGNS" ???

[Billy W. Cox]

Since most of the outside the USA stations have been quietly
reading thru the latest "US fad" (vanity calls) ... :)

Wonder what outside the US find as good/bad letter combinations ?

As a one nation we (USA) have our share of accents/etc that
have got to make it difficult at times. I'm from the Mid-South
(Hiyall vs Hi vs Hello) and certainly pronouce things just 'abit'
different that the same letters might be spoken in other areas ...

On SSB it might make more of difference than CW, tho certain CW
combos can slurrrr and change K4AEB to K4RB ... watch for those ...

So, what say outside the USA as to what YOU find clearest to copy ?
    what is "better" 1x2, 2x1, 3x1, etc combinations ?

Gary, 

Applesauce and balderdash!  What's wrong with xanthochroid, xenophobia or 
xeroradiograph?  Too polysyllabic you say?  Then try xyst, xylic or 
xylose!  Or maybe even "x-rated"!  Why, the opportunities that exist 
boggle the mind!
