[CQ-Contest] Callsign Advantages

[Felipe J. Hernandez]

Don,

I think that the trouble came with all the hard letters...... kilo fox
four zulu tango japan
Its not a walk in the park... I have no problems with zed or zulu....A
single zaaaannnnzziiibbaarrrr will take you very far in a pile up.

I love my ZED!

Interesting note, Don.  However, I must say I haven't had too much
trouble
with ZD8Z, some hundreds of kiloQSO's later.  Phone or code.  The
mistakes
rarely come from the "ZED"; rather it's some folks trying to put me on
St.
Helena or Tristan............

Nah, I think I'll keep it.
