Dennis, thank you for noting that! It was the exact reason I always used one
non-standard phonetic back at my New England station:
"Kilo Alpha One XRay NORWAY"
It doesn't matter about computer logging. If you can prevent someone (by
memory) from calling you a second time on the band, it's time saved.
Besides, "Norway" is easily understood and it's one less syllable.
