I tried that one, but some Zulu tribes have an issue with it (and I
couldn't bust the Zulu pileup). So I went with Zsa-Zsa (as in Gabor).

Recently I hear more and more hams using "kilowatt" as the phonetic for

the

letter K. The correct phonetic is "kilo".

Of course, for my callsign I could use

Knife Zucchini One Oedipus

or even

Kilo Zero One One

Tom,

I tried to email you, but couldn't get past your spam filter. Please
reply to my adelphia address. I added the code on the subject line that
will get you through my spam filter.

Can you (addressing the group, now) believe how much crap we have to put
up with because of spammers? It's like someone sticking a finger in
your eye, and then say "I'd like to sell you something."

All the best, and 73,
Dave

Forgive my rambling. Thanks for listening. Hope to have the privilege
of a live QSO with you sometime!

Thanks for all your comments, Steve. In recent years I've taught and helped
out with several Tech-plus classes. Enjoy seeing the enthusiasm of the young
people. Unfortunately, computers and the internet have grabbed away a lot of
potential hams, and many of the new-license candidates are retirees who were
interested in ham radio back when they were young, but never got the
license. When the dx isn't around or I feel a bit lazy at night, I crank the
code speed way down and go cq'ing where the remaining Novices and a lot of
tech plus folks hang out. I usually send out an unsolicited QSL after a
contact to the hams who sounds like they are just getting started. On voice,
I don't "correct" those using CB jargon, but do try to set a good example.
However, there was the old "Turkey Net" in Florida where non-conformist
protocol was standard; a lot of joking around, but we didn't interfere with
anyone and violated no rules.
