    backwards callsign

    Hello fellow islanders,
    I have a question, and the title of this forum says no such thing as a dumb question.. Well I'm gonna test that one a bit... :cool2:

    If I happen to say rqs9ck as my callsign just being a smartass and screwing around, did I just meet part97 requirements by saying all the letters in my callsign?

    I'm thinking no because that is NOT my actual callsign even though all the letters my callsign contains were said, they were not said in the correct order... Not to worry any times I've done that I've said it correctly within a minute or two just because I really don't think that is part 97 compliant..
    What are your thoughts?

    Sec. 97.119 Station identification
    (a) Each amateur station, except a space station or telecommand station, must transmit its assigned call sign on its transmitting channel at the end of each communication, and at least every 10 minutes during a communication, for the purpose of clearly making the source of the transmissions from the station known to those receiving the transmissions. No station may transmit unidentified communications or signals, or transmit as the station call sign, any call sign not authorized to the station.

    Glad that's cleared up, surprised it could be misunderstood. :chin:

    Glad to help.

    Better to ask a (seemingly) silly question here, than to do the wrong thing on the air and get an OO notice, or, worse, a pink ticket.

    (Does the FCC still send out violation notices on colored paper? I suspect that they send legal letters these days, or email, but anyone actually know?)

    No, but there is a very special pink slip.

    Sounds like a special edition fresh off the Mazda assembly line.
