I also want to announce a new net. It will be on 27.885. It will be for
digital modes. Recommend using 7 bit baudot, inverted.

Central Packet Group is sponsoring a new packet net
group on 27885 khz. Everyone welcome, even hams.

If you were issued one of the old "USxxx" call signs,
these will be honored.

See ya there 73s,

I always wondered- What authority "issues" these fake callsigns?
Is it just some guy promoting a "club" so he can bilk the
foolish out of "membership dues" by issuing them callsigns?
If so, I'd like to start one; I could use the money.
Maybe it'll be the "FI" series call signs (friggin idiots).

Got news for you twit, the FCC is the only authority that can issue
calls signs for stations in the U.S., and your on operations 27.885 are
in violation of FCC rules since you hold no valid license for those
frequencies and those frequencies are not within the current cb allocations.

Your childish name-calling notwithstanding, you may find it mind
boggling when you finally realize that the FCC has absolutely no
jurisdiction outside of sovereign American territory. And just how
is that you seem to intuitively know exactly what licenses I do or
do not hold, errrrr "twit," to use your own moronic language.
BTW, judging from your name-calling & moronic statements, I
would almost bet your are a regular on 14313? Unidentified,
of course.

OK twit (I stand by the lable), you want to make a bet you don't hold a
license to transmit on 27.885? And if you brush up on your reading
comprehension skills and re-read my post, you will notice I stated that
"the FCC is the only authority that can issue calls signs for stations
in the U.S." Notice I said "U.S.", that is "United States" in case you
don't understand. Now where did I say anything about outside of
sovereign territory? And here you are on a ham newsgroup inviting others
to get one of these 'phoney' callsigns and operate on a frequency with
this 'phoney' callsign that carries no authority whatsoever to operate
on that frequency. And your ITU has no authority to issue these licenses
to operate on those frequencies for any U.S. ham or anyone else.

After reviewing the info on the Alfa Tango website, it appears that it
is just a radio club based in Italy. As such it obviously has no
authority whatsoever to issue any type of operating licence or
callsign, not in Italy where the Ministero delle Comunicazioni has
the corner on that market , or anywhere else on this planet.

I suspect that the 'USXXXX' designators refer to individual member ID
numbers. Of course, each member would require licencing by their
respective regulatory agency in their home country before operating on
the air. That would be like joining AAA, and claiming that their
membership card is equivalent to a drivers licence....duh.

There may be the odd individual (!) who believes that membership in
the club has provided them with a legitimate radio licence - if so,
I'd strongly recommend that they go and discover the truth before they
risk getting busted for illegal operation.

OTOH, if there's a lucrative market out there for radio callsigns,
I've got dibs on the November Fox Golf XXX number series.....

73, Leo

That's illegal, you keyclown.

You ask wh

Why is it illegal??? I'll just go to the spaghetti web site and get a US4
callsign. If they can run packet. I can run 7 bit baudot.

Right?

"US4" belongs to Ukraine, not the USA. Thus, only the Ukraine's
equivalent to the FCC can issue callsigns, and only to people who
live or visit there.
