[CQ-Contest] SSB Sections in SS

[Gerry Hull]

During CQP, I was mobiling around PEI, and was pretty weak on on 20SSB
at times... I always found "Mike Alpha Radio" worked much better than
"Maritime".
I show up from various stations in SS SSB, and I'll always send with
the section phonetics.

This brings me back to my Little Pistol question -- on SSB (especially if the signal is weak) which way is easier for the receiving op to copy: "Maaarylaand" or "Mike Delta (Charlie)"; or "Losss Aangeless" or "Lima Alfa Xray"?
