In future, I shall give my name as Al as it avoids uncertainties about spelling Alastair or Alasdair or Alistair or Alister or Allaster or … (get the picture!!!) + with much QRM/N then ALPHA LIMA is much quicker and it’s much easier in morse.

PS. I had a great activation on The Wrekin (G/WB-010) over half term with S2S to Shining Tor and Arenig Fawr. I could hear a CQ call from Winter Hill in Lancs but couldn’t get QSO.

I was accused of having a “complicated name” once. I think it makes sense to use Al but it may take a while to get used to.

Hi Al
With my old callsign of M6MMM and my name Mike, there wasn’t too much of a problem with people getting my name wrong.
However, when I attended the Galashiels Rally last year and had to use the call
MM6MMM/M it did become a tad confusing

Yes, nice to work you S2S from G/SP-004 Shining Tor on Saturday.

Yes, someone very quickly called me Delilah, on the VT reapeater.
This Thursday, should be on G/WB-003 Stipperstones, with G1STQ. Perhaps Dave, he’ll remember to charge the batteries for this activation

In reply to 2E0YYY:
In my experience Delilah, what you post in public comes around and bites you on the Stiperstones 
In reply to G1STQ:
Be careful with what you charge him in case it is perceived as a salt and battery. You might just accumulate some time in a dry cell. On the other hand, think positively!!
In reply to M0TUB:
Ever Ready with the funnies!

Hi Dave.
Seems I’ve got the wrong day for Stipperstones. Should be tomorrow, (wednesday).
I think John will be working 10m, I will probably work VHF.
