Hello Mike, all,

for propagation test purposes (sound much better than beaconing) all we ne=
ed is an unambiguous identification. A single character will lead to confu=
sion, but 2 characters should do the job.=20
So what about using the 2 last characters of the callsign ?
That would make most ID's more or less of the same length.
G3XDV would use "DV", OR7T would use "7T", DF6NM would use "NM" and so on.
I cannot see any conflicts right now (=3D 2 stations active in propagation=
 tests with identical 2 last characters).
Is national law requires a full id it can always be send in 12WMP CW.

73, Rik  ON7YD - OR7T

OK, it seems that most people want full suffixes to be sent. I
believe I had good reasons to use a short ID, but I am happy to go
along with the majority view.

Of course the final straw was Mal threatening not to talk to me!

Beacon tonight (in addition to, and not instead of, real QSOs) will
be on 136.177kHz, 'XDV' synchronised with the start of each hour.
