Lots of them Paul, on purpose even. Look up W0CRA or W0CDS. W0CRA = Colorado Repeater Association W0CDS = Colorado D-STAR Association In the former, it's all analog machines, and the club call is for "convenience"... all the machines ID with the same callsign. In the latter, D-STAR repeaters REQUIRE a club callsign for each controller/Gateway combo. It's because the system is "callsign routed" I can't route from "WY0X" to "WY0X". I need another callsign on the repeater itself so I'm not trying to "call myself" to talk between the various repeaters on the same controller. For a while, people around here were getting the old "WR0___" callsigns issued, but I think the FCC stopped doing those again. Is kinda neat to hear those on the repeaters... Nate WY0X
