My XYL has a particularly difficult call on SSB (K0MKL). When using
properly pronounced standard phonetics the "mike" is often missed and the
"lima" almost as much. She rarely operates phone but we have found the
combination "Mexico, kilowatt, London" is very effective and crosses
linguistic boundaries easily.
Likewise, my call (K0JP) is sometimes a problem with standard phonetics. I
have begun using the combination "Japan, Portugal" and find that, too, is
quite effective.
We are additionally disadvantaged by having a station that is limited to
low power and a low long-wire antenna. That compounds our phonetics issues
and is the reason for our aversion to phone operation.
