[CQ-Contest] SSB Sections in SS

[Paul J. Piercey]

For me, the "correct" phonetics are always easy to copy. It's the
"personalized" ones that can also throw you off. If I use "Very Old One Has
Everything" I'll have to repeat it a million times.

Everyone.... please stick the the standard phonetics all should be OK.
