'Give me the PROPER callsign!

[MW0KXN]

@M0RWX

I believe the confusion arrives when people try and log the contact but their logging software is unable to retrieve the contact details from QRZdotcom (and other similar data sets) and they are not familiar with Regional Secondary Locators.

Creating a presence on QRZdotcom is obviously optional and should not be assumed to be the definition of a real callsign.

If you do use QRZdotcom it is easy to set-up aliases to direct callsigns with regional identifiers and suffixes to your main page.

For those who do use QRZ, it is relatively easy to add aliases directing variations of your callsign to your main QRZ page if you wish. [77200274-e598-4d3e-970c-c3b94a26c6c0-1_all_75983]
