No biggie.

Consider a call like WJ0JQY or some other combo of 0, J, Q and Y. Lotta
bauds in that one! You could send N0TO twice in the time it takes to
send WJ0JQY once.

One of the tricks of learning to use a bug is to send exercise phrases
that develop your skill. My favorite is:

"SHE IS 55 ES SHE IS HIS SISTER"

Try sending that one!


Is her name Sissi?

I received the QSL card for working TO0O (Martinique) a few weeks back.
The caption under the call reads "That's a lot of dahs." I hadn't really
given much thought at the time I'd worked Tom.

A lot of dits are even worse. I worked an SH5.... in one of the contests
and that was a pain making sure I had the call sign right.

Not tedious. KA0ZFY was tedious.

You thinking about getting a vanity call? I think K4CAP is

available.

Dang Boy! There you go "thinking" again!

You really are fact-deficient, aren't you...?!?!

Not that anyone else here's surprised!

In this past weekend's ARRL phone DX contest HA8=D8IARU showed up and
generated all sorts of problems particularly with the logging programs.

Figures - it was on fone. If it had been a CW test, everything
would've gone fine.

Who said that, Brain?

A non-standard format callsign will gunk up the works of logging
programs regardless.

Just another opportunity for PuppetBoy to troll the waters, I
guess!

IOW, CW "where never is heard a discouraging word, and the skies are
not cloudy all day."

Some people are humor impaired. Goes hand in hand will all their other
failings in life.

It's not about being "humor impaired".

It's about not being able to tell with you since you seem to
interchange reality and non-reality so frequently and without exception
to the on-going conversation.

Not to mention only you and Lennie are laughing at it.
