Well, it looks like I will be WV6Z within a couple of weeks. Why the six-land call you might ask? A couple of reasons; 1) 4-land calls are a scarce as hens teeth 2) It confuses the heck out of UK, EU and other DX stations who are desperate to get a California contact and couldn't care less about making a Carolina contact.  3) Just because I felt like it and I wanted a 1X2 or 2X1 call wif a Zed in it! ;D |

And a fine call you have too Renae! For 1X2 and 2X1 calls, in fourland TODAY, there is the grand total of ONE and it is N4GM. Now to some, that may sound nifty, but, it didn't do anything for me. |

Now to some, that may sound nifty, but, it didn't do anything for me. an N and an M in a 1 x2 yuck. I think there were something like 6 to chose from when I got mine!.  Hubby got w9hw and I got k9do I wanted to be rid of the "X" in my original call. |

Oh really, I was targeting a Zed or and X-ray call myself. Either way, it's nice to be able to have a shorter call, even if it's not really much easier than my present call on CW..... at least it looks cooler and sounds cooler on voice too.

What happened to your avatar Renae?!?!  I still try to hang in there with CW so, I didn't want anything particularly miserable to have to send over and over. KU4MY wasn't that bad, but, I have found the new one to be a bit easier. I agree, there are some letters that just wouldn't be too swell to have, CW considered or not. |
