It is good in that way. I think it will cause a problem with call sign routing if people adopt it frequently (M for mobile, B for base...) - they will be "unfindable" (my spell checker claims that's not a word) by anyone who doesn't know what ID character they're using. The beauty of call sign routing is its simplicity. I know this isn't new - it's just that most of us are only learning about it now. It's a wrinkle of complexity that has at least two sides, it seems. 73, Gary KN4AQ
