Interesting to see this topic resurface. I remember similar
conversations 20 years ago. Back then a bunch of us back at
W9YT decided that certain alternating patterns were less easily
confused . . . three of us who I know about are Scott, K9MA, Glenn,
K6NA, and myself. See the pattern?

Obviously, it isn't big enough...

Subject: call signs
As soon as I got the envelope in the mail with my lovely call, I tried
it on 2 meters. The first response to "KU2Q" was "gesundheit!" I
nearly cried.
Several days later, I tried the call on CW. It was the WPX contest weekend.
I had never heard of WPX. Thanks to whoever it was who took the time out
of the contest to explain WPX to me. I had fun. I gave #001 to a
bunch of folks.
Will I ask for a new call? I don't know. Will having ?2?? make me better,
more famous, taller? Or can I try to make KU2Q more famous, etc?
Who knows. It's nice to send on CW, it's the pits on SSB.
Susan - KU2Q - maybe forever, maybe not.
