We can now expand our practice copying a few callsigns to include the numbers Ø as well as 5 call areas.
K calls, N calls, and A calls can now be used.

A few examples:

NØDOD
AAØEIR
K5RN
KEØNIK
AD5KRS

Go ahead and free form any suffix using any of the introduced characters.

I recommend practicing mostly with American prefixes for now.  Those are the ones new CW operators are most likely to work at first.  We will practice a few foreign callsigns later in the course.

Scrabble List:
(some sample practice words that can be formed from the characters introduced so far.)
