[CQ-Contest] Callsign Advantages

[Jim Reisert AD1C]

On CW, avoid letters with the same symbol three-in-a-row, like:

	B (dah-dit-dit-dit)
	H (dit-dit-dit-dit)
	J (dit-dah-dah-dah)
	O (dah-dah-dah)
	S (dit-dit-dit)
	V (dit-dit-dit-dah)

Multiple dits in a row tend to lose a dit, dahs aren't as much of a 
problem.  Same goes with numbers, avoid 4 and 6 if possible (that's easy to 
do, so many of them are assigned already!)

Letters that work best are ones that alternate dits and dahs, usually 
ending in a dah, like A, C, K, N, R.

Notice that K1AR has three of those letters!
