Copyright has nothing to do with it,

It's a matter of choosing a name that will not be confused with something that's already going.

How about, Hammocks on the Air!

So, would

IWTBPCANSOASTOTA

(I Want To Be Politically Correct And Not Step On Any Snowflake's Toes On The Air)

be acceptable and not cause any confusion?

Though "CQ IWTBPCANSOASTOTA" is a real mouthful!

That's a little much. I don't think RULIAPAOTA - RUL Is A Pompous Ass On The Air is taken. Maybe try that one!
