I hear you on this one. Why is it most W8 stations I work are located in FL? :-)
When I moved from NM to VT, I changed my call. I got tired of the confusion when a net asks for stations in the 1 area and I drop in an AA5 call. I got tired of trying to clarify so I just changed from AA5AC to KD1E. I still wish the FCC required the call match the region because I really liked being able to tell where a guy was by the number in his call. But I do understand how someone who has been WD8DEE all his life doesn't want to become KO4QLF just because he retired and now lives in FL. So I've had to learn to put no stock in the number and just work the station. - Keith - -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Kevin Shaw To me, if I send CQ de N8IQ, the station responding would understandably think I was in the 8th district and might be disappointed (if they were working towards WAS, etc...) if they find that I'm really in 4-land. _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [email protected] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
