This has been kicking around for quite a while. At one time FCC Rules required adding "/R" or "/RPT" to a repeater call after it stopped issuing "WR" for repeater stations. The "out"is that "R" alone is not the way that Russia assigns call signs - they use "R" followed by an alpha. It's a "don't ask, don't tell" situation. I do advise my ham clients to use "/RPT" to be safe. -- 73 de K2ASP - Phil Kane Elecraft K2/100 s/n 5402 _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
