Theoretically it would be within guidelines to say "2-33A 2524H", but goodness that sounds confusing. :D
If I could choose any call sign, I'd probably use "Schweizer Glider", since N2524H is almost certainly the only Schweizer glider within radio range. But that would be completely outside the guidelines.
