What I might have done would be to have played with their head a little, by pretending like I thought it was a legitimate station but I just didn't copy all of the call sign, and asked for a repeat: "ABC station, I didn't get your prefix. Please repeat your call" or "Question mark ABC? Please repeat your prefix and the number in your call, go ahead. ______________________________________________________________ Our Main Website: http://www.amfone.net AMRadio mailing list Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ List Rules (must read!): http://w5ami.net/amradiofaq.html List Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/amradio Post: [email protected] To unsubscribe, send an email to [email protected] with the word unsubscribe in the message body.
