That'd be great Howard, just let me know who to contact at HQ. I'd like to do a survey of the Division regarding the "/x" issue before I tell the member "thanks, but we will take no action on your request". A survey would give me some backing to go with my response, and also engage the local membership and make them feel like they are involved in the decision process. 73; Mike W7VO

Hi Mike,
We have one license, not a company license, but we can send out unlimited surveys. If you want, we could work with you to send out a survey. The person with the license works in the sales and marketing department, so I'd like to go through her manager in coordinating this. Let me know how you want to proceed.
73, Howard

Thanks!

Since FCC permits people to retain their calls when they change their addresses, the consequence of this member’s requested action would be to have many stations signing /1 or whatever the call area. All of this with very little benefit. I would guess that the major impact would fall on Southern states where Northerners have retired and kept their original call signs.
I agree that it seems to me that the Commission has dismissed similar requests in the past, but I don’t have any way to find the response. I believe the Commission just blew the request off, without any formal response. 73, Greg, K0GW

I did some research and could not find any recent FCC actions related to something like this. I'm kind of surprised that it hasn't come up from somebody before now.

As to a committee, I'd suggest it be a Board motion if there is any interest. I'm not sure the FCC would want to spend any time on this given the current FCC, but you could at least bring it up for discussion so you could tell your constituent that the issue was raised.

I seem to recall that the FCC has already ruled on this type of proposal, at least once. Does anybody have anything related to this that I can send this guy?
If not, which ARRL committee would be the proper one to sent this request to for consideration?
Thanks!

Mike I hope you remember to bring up for discussion at the Board meeting the proposal I sent you re having the FCC require ID'ing with a /# if their call is different from the area they are in. If you remember it would require no work or cost from the FCC other than a order. Stations would ID with a /# if they are mobile or living in an area different from their call. No change to the License would be required only on the air ID'ing.
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year
