Zooming into my local area is a fun bit of puzzling over some of the changes.
I guess I see why XXWNG is changed to EXWNG (less ambiguous), but why is Colorado's BRNKO changed to VONNN? (edit: aha, maybe local hero Lindsey Vonn) HASHE is changed to JURKY, maybe because the former could be a drug reference to Colorado, and HIPPE is changed (though it was in a decidedly non-crunchy part of Colorado).
FLAIL became DEELO, and if I was forced to guess it's because saying "flail" over a radio would be something I'd tend to slowly overpronounce. CENTN was presumably changed because it's almost the name of the nearest airport (KAPA, Centennial Airport).
`My girlfriend is named Lynn. She spells her name "Lynn". My old girlfriend's name is Lyn, too, but she spells it "Lyn". Every now and then I screw up, I call my new girlfriend by my old girlfriend's name, and she can tell because I don't say "n" as long.'
