[UK-CONTEST] Call sign Dyslexia

[David Gould]

I get a significant number of stations reply to my call as G3EUG 
(rather than G3UEG) even when they come back immediately, so the 
assumption is the signal is reasonably in the clear.

I use the phonetics Uniform Echo Golf and they come back Echo Uniform 
(and interestingly, often Germany rather than Golf).  Would different 
phonetics help?

The only time I use different phonetics is on third or subsequent 
attempts when condx are difficult.  Has anybody come up with a 
solution to the same type of problem?

73,
Dave,  G3UEG
