Why not apply for a One call. I've thought about doing that. DX
stations going by the numbers almost always start on Ones, then when
they get to Fives (if ever), you get a second shot as W1xx/5. Lot
more OFs dying off in One-land too, so more good vanity calls
available.
For unmistakable phonetics, I always remember Trey's old call:
Waxahachie Nicaragua Four Knickerbocker Knickerbocker Nicaragua
