[CQ-Contest] Best callsign letters

[Juan J. Hidalgo EA8CAC]

This things happend when the OP don´t use ICAO

And happends too with a lot of EA operators, calling* X* like
"Xilofono"......... the best call is that always use ICAO.

i heard a lot of stations from my own country calling with words that are
really imposible for foreigners and sometimes for me too.

73 to all
