- ENTERING YOUR CALLSIGN
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- When entering your callsign, please take care not to
- confuse O's and 0's (zeros), or 8's and 0's. It is
- better to enter your callsign in lower-case ie. g0zzz
- not G0ZZZ. If you accidentally enter an O instead of
- a 0 it will be more obvious, e.g. gozzz is clearly in
- error.
-
- The callsign you enter must be the one issued to you
- by the appropriate authority unless you have a Notice
- of Variation; or you have registered an alternative
- domain name with the international Internet
- administrators. Your callsign is a unique "name" that
- will be known world-wide and it is most important that
- no other user has the same domain name or address.
-
- If you already use your callsign on another station
- connected to the amateur TCP/IP network, you can
- use a modified form of callsign for this station to
- indicate that it is not the same (within limits).
- Here is a list of common modifications to give you an
- idea of what is generally acceptable.
-
- NOTE: Do not use non-alphanumeric characters eg: %^/
- They won't work!
-
- Acceptable callsign variations:
-
- g9zzz2, g9zzz3, 23g9zzz, 70g9zzz, 2g9zzz, etc...
-
- In all cases, the callsign is very obvious. If this
- is your first station on TCP/IP, I recommend that you
- use your callsign without any modification.
