So all VHF/UHF repeaters that identify "W6XXX/R," and there are a lot of
them, are in violation of the rule since "RAA-RZZ" is assigned to Russia?
In the "olden days" you were *required* to put /# following your call if
you were operating outside the call area in which your license was
issued. But, you could also hold more than one call too. I've been
K6DGW since I upgraded my novice to general in 1954, but I was also
KL7ETK when in the military in Alaska, and WA5SNP when assigned to NASA
in Houston. As I remember, you were also required to notify the FCC in
writing anytime you planned to operate from anywhere other than your
station license address. Don't know when that went away, but I'm glad
it did :-)
