I read recently that a VLF station in Russia UT0 something received
permission to use the long T instead of the 0 for QRSS.
I remember when I was a novice in the 60's being told never to use the
long T in a callsign.
The ID question is interesting. I know that CW holds a special place,
but there is no out-of-mode ID requirement for digital modes such as
PSK, as long as the modulation is publicly described. CW is a digital
mode no matter whether it is Morse or International Morse or Japanese
Kana Code, ergo there *ought* to be no CW ID requirement for
"International Morse with T instead of 0" as long as there is no intent
to obscure communications, merely to facilitate it.
Ought to, but I doubt that OOs will see it that way because of the
strong position of International Morse Code for CW. And I suspect the
FCC would not like to have us bring them such problems either.

your call sign you'd find that you are asking for a citation for
failing to
identify properly.
