After decades of being called EL on air, I decided to go with the trend and enter a two year long lottery for a chance at “K6EL”. I won. You can continue to call me EL if you wish, but I prefer sir or honorable EL or your highness.

Nee Sir EL
Congrats on the new call Elliot. Much quicker to send and your battery will last longer on the summits. HI! All the best and hope to catch you on your next summit. “73” de Scotty
In reply to K6ILM:
Congratulations Elliott! I guess I was the only guy who always took the time to spell out your entire name on CW. You were probably thinking “yeah yeah I know my name, just give me my danged report already!”. With your new call I can now feel comfortable calling you EL like everyone else.
Oh, and I think a better title for you would be Duke of Davidson since you spend so much time on that hill. By now I suspect that you must have erected your castle, hired a staff and made quite a bit of progress on your moat. 
73,
Eric KU6J

You’re on your way to collecting that bet, Jim. My first use of the call was today in contact with Doc, K7SO. I sent K6I… and stopped, flustered, and forget to tell him it was an S2S. So I slowed down, putting the lie to Scotty’s promise of longer battery life with the shorter call. I wanted Brian’s ermine collar and cuffs, but the RMS won’t allow pelts in the mail. Gotta find a way to post a live critter and skin him over here in the rural outback and pay Billy Bob Lee to do the job. I did try the suggestion of KU6J, building a moat for my new castle, but it’s a summit. All the water made haste down the hill into a rose garden…it has always been said that hams make poor neighbors, but that was never envisioned. This was:
