Certainly have. Years ago, fishing in a high elevevation lake near
Kamloops, I heard all kinds of "suthern drawl". My CB radio in my
4X4  was picking up all kinds of skip from way down south. Me and some
friends listened for quite some time. Now, I'm not saying you have a heavy
southern drawl like these fellas had, but you certainly did have enough of
one that I noticed right away. :)

Frined of mine had been lived in Australia for 10 years or so. He cam back
for a visit and I was astounded that he had an Australian accent. He
pish-poshed and he said he didn't. He couldn't believe it when /everyone/
else told him the same thing. True story. My point being, you pick it up. 
:)

Have a nice day!
