Lou,

That's another area of call signs; those that spell real words.  I tried 
collecting word calls years ago and working anyone whose call in fact 
spelled a real word.  I'm surprised the ARRL doesn't have a certificate for 
that as they do for other achievements.  You got a good one from the jump.
