[bars] What I learned this weekend...

[Tim K1DC]

I participated in the North America QSO Party this weekend.  Great fun, 
BTW, even though I was only on for a few hours.  Part of the contest 
exchange is your name, and best practice is to give it phonetically.  In 
my case that is 'Tango India Mike'.  It's that last bit that can confuse 
some folks with MIKE being a given name so when the QSB/QRM/QRN struck 
some OPs assumed my name was MIKE.  I learned to use an alternative, 
MEXICO, when giving my name phonetically.

Yes, I realize that using non-standard phonetics is generally a bad idea 
however in this case it worked well.

73,
