Re: [Elecraft] OT: Now: shipboard callsigns, was: W vs K broadcast station callsigns,
It turns out there are TWO ways you can get a 4 letter call for a shipboard station- You can have a licensed radiotelegraph station, OR you can have small boats with permanent radio installations. In 2014/5 I got OLIVER HAZARD PERRY the callsign KOHZ by citing that rule when we did our original application, and installed radios in our small boats. And as lagniappe, when BOUNTY was foundering in late October of 2012, the master was licensed as KD4OHZ, and we used the Winlink station on board with his callsign to communicate with the USCG by email. I've always wondered if the former callsign was related to the latter. since both boats were in the same category as sailing school vessels, and someone at the FCC picked up on that. But probably not. 73, doug __ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com

Interesting. There is currently no vessel of that name nor record of a vessel with callsign KOHZ in the ITU maritime callsign database. https://www.itu.int/mmsapp/ShipStation/list Mike / KK5F __ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com
