Fellow ham,

My brother has just gotten his license.

He is now KB3OPR. I'd like to see some imaginative
possibilities for phonetics - within the bounds of good
taste, of course. ;-)

Why not use standard phonetics?

Because it's not as much fun..!

The fact is that the cutesy phonetics don't always get the job done.
I remember a domestic SSB Sweepstakes contest where I was having a
great deal of trouble copying one particular weak station through the
75m QRM/QRN.
He'd given his call several times. It finally dawned on me that he
was saying, "Whiskey Delta Zero Loving Very Nicely".
