Dear LF group and QRSS-60 TXing stations,

I want to start a discussion that may have been done before.

This is a forwarded message, showing the typical problem of newcomers who do not know what they receive if a station just transmitts a suffix.
I find this is a pity.
Maybe someone can expain me why just the suffix is sent? There is a lack of information as long as the receiving station is not a member of this reflector.
It is not the only example. I got at least 4 mails within the last months, where new stations asked what station that is.

Usually there are plenty of grabbers available which make ID clear. Even if a full callsign is lost in the QSB, there is a chance to verify who it must have been. Frequency and time can help to identify the traces. So why transmitting 8x GH instead of 3x GM3GH (an example) which could help to find an ID? I one receive a full call and is not a member of the reflector, there is a chance to find further informations in the web (qrz.com, and so on).

Room for thought, as Mal would say.

73, Stefan/DK7FC
