You think you got problems.  Try VA5DX.  Some try to convert this
call into VE5 or WA5 or UA5.  The VA prefix is foreign to them.
Some think the 5 is a 9.  Only a few problems with the DX part,
and those mostly with the Delta. Maybe a change to Denmark would help.

I cannot believe how many contest operators cannot receive "delta-exray" ..
I have come to think it is because that they do not BELIEVE that AA6 Delta
Xray is a legit call, I suppose.  .. of course, the contesters that have
been doing it for 4Ø years know the callsign . HIHI ..   So  --- here is
this olde pharte, hollering "denmark exray, like long distance" .. and, the
nerd at the other end comes back   D ess ...  arrrrgghh
but, just think .. last week, he was using his "slider" on 28.00??
Mark .. AA6DX
