A mental institution ID? A redneck playing 007? Doesn't make any sense to me. Jari Savolainen Interesting that this is the topic of your first post to RRS. It's a shortwave group ID. Others in this NG use them, but I think I can understand why you chose to harass me for having one. Shortwave group ID? My God, this is the most idiotic thing I've ever heard. Imagine the following: Phone rings, WA4009SWL answers: WA4009SWL. Caller: This is IQ0001SWL, WA4009SWL do you copy? WA4009SWL: Roger. Caller: Seems like Ma Bell is up and running today. WA4009SWL: Roger. Caller: 73's WA4009SWL. WA4009SWL: 73's IQ0001SWL. Phone rings again, WA4009SWL answers: WA4009SWL. Caller: This is the FCC. You've been sighted tuning shortwave frequencies with your Freeplay radio. Is this accurate? WA4009SWL: Roger. Caller: In that case, can you hold out your shortwave license against the kitchen window so that our reception inspectors can see it with their binoculars. WA4009SWL: Roger. Caller: Put your underwear on, for heaven's sake! WA4009SWL: Roger. Caller: Everything seems to be in order aside from your appearance. You can proceed with your tuning now. And keep your underwear on, fer chrissakes man! WA4009SWL: Roger. Caller: 73's. WA4009SWL: 73's. Phone rings for the third time, WA4009SWL answers: WA4009SWL. Caller: This is your mother, stupid. WA4009SWL: Rog...ehh, hi mom! Caller: The FCC just called. Put your underwear on, stupid. WA4009SWL: Yes mom! Caller: Good bye, stupid! WA4009SWL: 73's. What a hoot. Only in America.
