Missing King Henry for KH6 for Hawaiian calls. I like that one!
On the DX 3 line I only occasionally hear Italy, Japan, Ocean, and Queen.
I sometimes use Mexico for my call on DX pileups because it seems Mike on the end doesn't come through as good. Other than that, I stick with the ITU 1.
DX stations with heavy accents are hard to understand Golf, so I think Germany is a better phonetic.
Most of the alternates we've all heard. I never knew there was official(?) alternate phonetics.
Please advise me to what is a good replacement mic for my SR-497HPC... Answer: 497 is "wired like Cobra", so many choices available. That radio does not need a power mic, so purchase a stock "coffin style" mic with a decent cord, like the ones that Astatic uses. The Superstar DM-507 is my go-to. https://www.ebay.com/itm/3050474478...adANq91JSiEEnz8EGqPJRBloTgEyaVsBoCtoMQAvD_BwE $12.99 + .99 cent shipping.
