Using this terminology that would be a 2x0 ;-) These special calls are becoming quite common in many countries now, also here in Germany, from 2x1s for contest/clubstations (e.g. DR6A) to the short-time stations during the soccer World Cup with calls like DR2006N and DQ2006J (which would be "2x1" as well). Perhaps somebody could check which syntax is valid now? I don't know where to look. Was there any statement made on how calls longer than 6 chars are to be used on packet? Perhaps just use a different ID=20 (which one?) and additionally set a beacon with the correct call in the data part? How do other modes (was it AMTOR?) handle this? 73, Robert DL1NC/N9KBK --9jxsPFA5p3P2qPhR Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.3 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFEfZbUo4a8ramwUd8RAm+FAJ49kavfdY5B6tGuRZ1pYtmhoyf9uQCgsbUB bkhlIhZn1IuL7Y/mawg+K4Y= =/vWB -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --9jxsPFA5p3P2qPhR--
