[CQ-Contest] Call Sign Weight

[Trent Sampson]

Interesting 

When I get tired, I get what I refer to as CW dyslexia and mix up GWFL 

Even to the point of sending it back to front  eg N1GF - N1FL 

So those letters are not in my favourites list. But it is my clue to get off the rig. 

Callsigns, I like are ones where the dit doesn't get lost due to noise

Eg.  M K O T 

Letters that give grief to me have the dit at either end of the character. 

eg G W D B 

And yes, when we get spotted wrong on the cluster it is obvious the assisted stations that work us again blindly thinking we are VK2 and not VK4. 


73 

Trent VK4TS and now also AJ6SB

Not that I know of, and not something I considered when selecting this call sign.

73, Dennis NJ6G... NOT N1BG!
