I chose my callsign to have palindromic letters, NT4TN, because I like the rhythm of it when spoken and I think the repeated words are easier to copy. November Tango Four Tango November.
I might have made it morse palindromic if I'd thought of that, instead I chose it to have a short morse and vericode length.
(I think I might have selected the palendromic available call with the shortest vericode length, but I think it was still close to the shortest morse, or maybe the other way around-- I'm not sure if I could figure out which now since I dunno what callsigns were available at the time)
Here is a one liner to get all the matching words from the dictionary using the rule in the article:
$ cat /usr/share/dict/words | perl -lne "tr /ABDFGQNVULWYabdfgqnvulwy/NVULWYABDFGQnvulwyabdfgq/; print scalar reverse" | sort | uniq | cat - /usr/share/dict/words | sort | uniq -c | awk '{if($1==2){print $2}}'
Here are the longest ones on my system:
finspot
footstool
gorcrow
ottetto
pip-pip
saimins
secants
sememes
stances
topsail
waifing
wailing
wairing
waiting
