The whole band jammed with a useless waist of airtime im sick of cq contests as thats all you here when the band is open, what happened to a simple chat
The use of ITU phonetics in both tactical and formal message (record) traffic handling is essential for accurate and efficient communications. However, It has been my experience, when it comes to contesting and calling into a pile up, other words like RADIO GUATEMALA helped me win 1st place in the 2008 CQ WPX World Wide contest. But in less competitive situations like calling into a net, or just identifying in a rag chew, I will use the proper ITU phonetics.
there is a phonetic alphabet for a reason. i guarantee if you use it no one will have a problem with you call sign. i am in the Navy and work communications extensively using phonetics all day. making up what ever you want will not work. whiskey tango foxtrot over.
Just read an article in QST on this very subject. June 2009, pg 97. I know I have to stop and think for a second when folks use 'different' phonetics.
