[UK-CONTEST] Call sign Dyslexia

[Alex GM3ZBE]

I've always found ECHO a very weak phonetic for the "E" at the end of my 
callsign.  I've never been able to settle on a good one.  ECUADOR is 
quite strong but people don't expect it as a phonetic and I usually am 
asked for a repeat which is counterproductive.

I tried using "Germany Mexico three Zanzibar Brazil Ecuador" at one time 
but it was too much for some people :-)
