<font face="Verdana">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.<br>
<br>
Yes, I realize that using non-standard phonetics is generally a
bad idea however in this case it worked well.<br>
