I have been in and listened to thousands of pileups over the years and the
DXer phonetics are very commonly used. Is that right or wrong -- I don't know - but sure is a fact of DX life. And they seem to work as well as the NATO phonetics. Many many top gun DXers use them. Just listen to the pileups (:-( This is NOT to necessarily recommend or deny the practice -- just stating what many DXers use. Whether to use them or not is a separate issue. (Start a thread if you want!) FYI: I know several DXpeditioners who will not answer anyone using anything BUT NATO phonetics or to recognize those using "Lass Two" -- last two letters of the suffix. But You will hear some DX stations ask for "Lass Two". This also is common practice. (Sometime in 10 minutes one should give their full call - huh?)
