I guess it'll be easier to use the arrl certificate and do not
reinvent the wheel. Yeah I can foresee people not wanting to
register with the arrl, but everything has to start somewhere.

As a victim of another local foundation ham (caught) unlawfully
using
my callsign on 20m FT8 recently, and reports
heard of other fake and unauthorized callsign use, I wonder
about the
possibility
of a digital Mode database setup & registered to , with license
proof
etc, similar to QRZ.
A hex code only then secure issued to the ham passing this test
for
software use.
Wsjtx would be coded to have a code entry near Callsign field,
and
only accepting on correct code entered.
This would go a long way to providing confidence that the
callsign
worked is genuine (DXPeditions etc), and protecting
your own callsign from mis-use.
