I share this last opinion. We cannot consider the forging of callsigns
as a solution. The legal framework does not allow this. We need other
solutions which are compatible with the legal framework. On some
occasions, I have seen exceptionally long callsigns like "GB2012OSPAR".
I understand very well that they cannot be handled easily in the current
context of WSJT-X.

Best wishes,
