Well with the "dit dit dit" series of egrams on the reflector
I will offer my comments after having callsigns ending
in HS and KK ... for too many decades ....
Studying the issue I concluded that the best callsign
would be the shortest one that did not end in either
a letter with all dits, a letter with ending in double dits or
a single dah. That eliminates E I S H D L Z and T as
the final letter of a CW callsign ...
Shortest is a relative term ... the prefix is often chosen
first and the number of the prefix is probably the
most constant choice by a given hamateur. So,
shortest is then applied to what part of the call is
left over ....
A PERFECT or SMOOTH call is one in which the ending element of
one letter is the opposite of the beginning element of
the next letter. Such calls FLOW very smoothly for the
most part and are quite easy to copy .and send. ...
Thus the smooth prefixes are ...
W 1 2 3 4 5
N 6 7 8 9 0
K 1 2 3 4 5
xA 1 2 3 4 5
xB 6 7 8 9 0
... and so forth.
Some of the perfect/smooth calls are ....
K1AR
K1RO
(BTW, the best phoneynetic letters are R and O,
they don't require phonetics !)
K5MA
W1AF
W1AW
K1RC
W1EM
K2UFT
W2RQ
N2CG
NX3J
NQ4I
K4JA
N0FB
N6NT
VA3IX
VE9DX
NG7M
NC7X
N6BB
N7CC
K4SB
etc etc
etc etc
etc etc
You want a SMOOTH / PERFECT
callsign if you can get it .....
... just a comment folks ....
