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.
