My airport is 02/20, and so is the one 52 NM away that I often fly to.

I say Zero Two, and so do most other people. I've occasionally heard
it called "Two". I think Zero Two is safer -- BUT:

I don't understand why anyone would designate an airport that way.
Chances are it's fairly close to 1/19 or 3/21. What difference could
it possibly make at a non=towered field to avoid this potentially
dangerous combination?

When I first got a radio, I had a terrible time with the runway
numbers, and at least once I announced that I was taking off on Two
Zero when I was heading north. I may have done it other times without
realizing it.
all the best -- Dan Ford
