Good Evening,

   Twenty meters had a little slow QSB and low noise.  Forty meters had faster QSB, while the noise level varied over time. Winter is in control east of the Rockies.  The next storms arrive here in a few days.  Sun during the middle of winter is very nice.  Spring is coming; I need to lay down my radials before the ferns start growing.  The hummingbirds are due any day now.

Palindromes are words, or series of words, which read the same forward and backward.

Able was I ere I saw Elba
A man a plan Panama
Was it a cat I saw
etc.

We use 73 often.  It is an example of a CW palindrome; it sounds the same forward and backward.

Creating numeric CW palindromes is simple:
73
82
91
55
etc.

How do you form a CW palindrome using letters?
Letters which form actual words, legal in Scrabble?

While AHA is a palindromic word it is not a CW palindrome since
   di dah    di di di dit   di dah
Is not the same as
   dah dit   di di di dit   dah dit
which forms NHN.

Hints -
Characters which mirror themselves:
E H I K M O P R S T X

Characters which form mirror pairs:
A  N
B  V
D  U
F  L
G  W
Q  Y

C J Z   have no inverse

Mirror words:
I
an
ere
wig
mom
toot
gnaw
fool
feel

I have not yet found a five letter CW palindrome.
