And I have heard many times in pile-ups --- ITU Phonetics only and some DX
operators won't answer you with any other phonetics.

Wow, it must be something for these "operators" to be so anal! If a
person only answers me because I speak a certain way, then I'll forgo
their blessed contact.

There may be a legitimate reason for that, Mike...It's not that the other
guy is particularly "anal', but English may not be his native language. You
start throwing "cute" or non-traditional "phonetics" at him and he is lost...
