[GreenKeys] Attaching Call Signs

[Steve Garrison]

As to changing calls, the other problem is how long the old call hangs
around.  I changed my call nearly two years ago and people still sign off
with me using my old call (it was N4SEG; my initials).  

 

But it is also amazing how many comments and conversations down memory lane
come about because of the TTY in the new call.  Many, many people remember
teletype machines, and the ones that don't are just amazed that something
can have that many moving parts and they usually stand there open mouthed
when I'm doing a demo.

P.S. Thanks for running with the flag for ITTY Paul.  Next time I'm in
Denver we'll give a shout out.

Agreed. I recently changed from KD0DFR to W2TTY and now folks on the local
repeaters in Denver ask me why I am visiting Colorado!

On my home machine I have a sig with call and one without it. The problem
these days is that you can no longer identify the location of a call by the
call area number.  While this allows people to move around and keep their
call signs it does make it confusing on the air sometimes.
