Those amongst us with nice short callsigns might consider worrying a trace
less about other peoples abbreviation conventions, it adds to the stresses
for those of us with more substantial callsigns :)
My own perspectiveon such contractions : if those you work can figure it

hearing "rpt ?" that you'll stop doing it.
Test #1 : E for the money, U for the road, V to get ready, go cat, go

Test #2 : AATKM would be which DXCC country ?

or a little miss copy put him at 6K for power......
