When I first got my callsign over 35 years ago I expected that to be the
case, but in practice I have never found that to be a problem. If the
station on the other end only gets part of my callsign, he almost
invariably (well over 90% of the time) comes back with "7E?" I suspect
it might be a bigger problem with multiple dits, as with B or G, but
that gets into the same recognition problem that people have
distinguishing B from D or S from H.
Also keep in mind that short letters like E and I slip through cracks in
the QRM much better.
