Hi Steve,

You could remove his call from the dictionary.

Insert + D for dictionary, control + Shift + D for default dictionary (if 
necessary,) tab to the list of words, highlight the ham call, press tab to 
the delete button, press space bar, press control + S to save, Press alt + 
F4 to exit.

Ron,

One interesting discovery:  If you have an alphanumeric entry in the
pronunciation dictionary, it overrides the setting.  Since I have Mike's
call in the dictionary, he earns the dubious distinction of having the only
ham call that will not be phonetically spelled.  Ah well, who knew?

Steve
