Hi Andy,
I recently had a discussion with a fellow OM about
the same issue. We probably need to remember *why*
those freaky codes have been introduced.
The mere reason was that there was a need to save
letters (and thus save time) in CW transmissions.
In voice QSOs there is no reason to use any
abbreviations. In fact, it often would be easier
to copy "plain English" on SSB.
Nevertheless we are talking "CW". Strange, isn't it?
I'd prefer "general call" for CQ.
73s uhm ... regards,
Andre, DH5TA, Germany
