[CQ-Contest] Callsign Advantages

[Luc, PY8AZT]

Hi all,

My call PY8AZT. In ssb I have to repeat the number 8, specially in maginal
propagation. But the "AZT" is very strong, treat even AIDS. :) In CW
sometimes the "T" is missed. Many QSLs from my CQWW 2001 effort is going to
my friend Adolfo PY8AZ. Two things, I lost 82 QSOs on the final and my
friend give me that cards saying "since past 10 years like ham I never
worked in cw, how about be sure the other got you right call?". In 2002 I
was very active on DX, contest and stuff, so let's see if it makes
diference. Btw, last CQWW I was ZZ8Z it seems very productive in 40wpm cw.
No wrong QSL until now.

73, Luc

R>>If you're primarily a CW contester, try to find a call with little or no

R>>dits
R>>....  my call is HORRIBLE as the dits get lost in the noise.  Thus a
R>call 
R>>like
R>>K8MM, K8TTT, or something similar would be preferable.  For voice 
R>>contesting,
R>>try to think of something with strong phonetics.  Some phonetics like 
R>>bravo,
R>>alfa, and papa seem to be "soft" sounding, while tango, zulu, mike, and 
R>>kilo
R>>seem have a "presence" which stands above the noise.
