[CQ-Contest] SSB Phonetics

[Barry Merrill]

Southwest Airlines could not use SW as their flight code
when they went into business, as there was a Southwest Africa
airline that wanted millions for their code, so Southwest
chose WN as the President's wife was a big Willie fan.

I enjoy my "Willie Nelson Four" phonetics...

I need a better phon for "W". I don't really care for Whiskey. It doesn't
work well for me. Any better ideas.

The problem that I deal with is folks always leave the "Whiskey" off the
front-end. I had a gent tell me in the VAQP that it was too early for
whiskey.
