Hi all - my callsign is ECHO INDIA EIGHT INDIA CHARLIE. If I had a dollar
for every time someone replied ' HOTEL INDIA EIGHT INDIA CHARLIE ? ' I could
afford that new FT1000MP I've been dreaming of. Its not just hopefulness -
often the band isn't remotely open to HI. Trouble is, there's not an easy
alternative to 'ECHO' - contacting S.America I am often successful with
ECUADOR ITALY EIGHT ... but elsewhere, it doesn't work. ENGLAND INDIA EIGHT
isn't much help as some people think England is spelt as Ingland - its also
politically incorrect to use in Ireland. So, any suggestions ???
