Interesting Bert, and great on CW. It has always seemed to me that
Morse characters that begin with a dit, when strung together, seem to
have a "clean" rhythm. Perhaps the epitome is W1AW, but K4AR does
pretty good too. N6KR is pretty good even though 3 of the 4 start with
a dah. K6DGW sort of sucks in this department, 4 of the 5 are
dah-starts. By the time vanity licensing came along, I'd had the call
long enough that I didn't want to give it up.

Subject: [Elecraft] Vanity call question
"I want to learn about vanity call signs, why would I want one? What do they
represent?"
A vanity call is one that is self selected rather than being the next in order
assigned by FCC. The main reason for getting one is ....vanity. Many select a
vanity call that represents their name or initials. Some because the call comes
close to spelling a word that has significance for them. Some because it
represents an area of interest.
In my case I was assigned G3WYC by UK GPO back in 1967. I chose the vanity call
K3WYC when I became licensed in USA.
