alias myt="awk -F'\"' ..."
Can't escape single quotes in a single-quoted string.

>I've tried > >mytestalias=awk -F'"' ...
Word-split at the unquoted space; also would not have protected the " from its special meaning when the alias gets expanded. Try:
alias mytestalias=awk\ -F'\"'\ ...
>mytestalias='awk -F\'\"\' ...'
Backslashes are not special within single-quoted strings; could use:
alias mytestalias='awk -F\" ...'
