[CQ-Contest] [CQ-CONTEST] IDing During a CQ

[k7qq at juno.com]

Quacks
I try to ID after every Q however, when a big pile is there and I already
have a second call I will go back to the second station before IDing. 
Usually they have already gone up the band anyway.  

Quack , Quack   doesn't convert in some languages .  I don't think their
ducks speak the same language as ours..
Well guys   Quebeek, Quebeek   or   Queen Queen both seem to work but 
the K7  sometimes gets converted to KA7  I've had to question a few K4 ,
K8 etc.  as  to correct prefix myself.  Don't have that problem on the
best mode , CW. even if I can't  copy..  
Overall The military alphabet seems to work best, except for  (niner  9 )
 .  
Rex   aka.   Quack  in WWA where U gotta be a duck to survive.

Not that I'm about to change my call, but I, too, could afford the FT1000MP
if I had a nickel for every time the "Foxtrot" in my call has been received
as "Oscar".  That combo is a real stinker!  The "Juliet" comes across too
often as "Uniform" or "Zulu".

The kids' group I lead at school now has the callsign KR9L.  After teaching
them the "proper" phonetics, I confuse them by occasionally using "Kilowatt
Radio Nine Liberty" in a CQ.  After all, it's the "Liberty Radio Explorers"
group.  I'm not sure what the best phonetic is for "L", but that "Kilowatt
Radio" really shines!

73, Jim N9JF
