I wish others who have moved out of their call sign area would sign witn a slash/area.

It's longer but it's a neat call.) -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Bill Frantz Sent: Tuesday, July 02, 2013 3:56 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Elecraft] 20 meter CW When I am in New Hampshire I sign AE6JV/1 on PSK although it isn't required.
