Luigi, There is no such thing as a ``SWL License``. Fortunately, no license is required to listen! At least not outside the most repressive communist regimes, mostly of the past.
There was once a fad which I hope has passed for SWLs to obtain a `call sign` like licensed radio amateurs must have in order to transmit, which for them is logical. Several individuals and companies saw a money-making opportunity and starting issuing such made-up alfa-numeric SWL callsigns for a price; which have no legal standing whatsoever. If your caller really feels his own name is insufficient for him to be known by, tell him to make up any combination of random letters and numbers and put them after or instead of his name, even have them printed on a framable certificate, if that makes him feel good. Google them first to see if they already mean or lead to something or someone else. Probably should not be something already used as a password. 73, Glenn Hauser --- On Mon, 5/24/10, Hector (Luigi) Perez <[email protected]> wrote: > From: Hector (Luigi) Perez <[email protected]> > Subject: [HCDX] Help Needed > To: [email protected] > Date: Monday, May 24, 2010, 5:59 PM > Good day to all.
