Ham Radio is a great hobby, in which you can talk to people all over the world, and it's great for disaster aid. If you have a ham radio license, what is your call sign? If you don't have one, do you plan on getting one? Why or why not? My call sign is AC0GW.

I used to be a ham radio operator but after my divorce from my husband I gave it up realizing that it was his hobby and not mine. I just became a ham radio operator to communicate with him when he wasn't home as he had a radio in the car.

Radio callsign: KE4KRW
I haven't talked on ham radio for at least 3 years now. Other things got in the way.....like life! But it's like an old friend you ignore until you need them. I kept my license active for that reason. Comes and goes like my other hobbies. I did meet alot of good friends over the past 10 plus years and had many great experiences with the many modes I worked, like 6 meter FM and 2 meter SSB....hmmm this post has got me thinkin' about dustin' off the rig and calling CQ again!

Hello,

Call sign here is kb7uip. My original callsign was wb7pym.
Currently have an advanced class license. Have been a ham for 32 years. Yes, I am an old timer. Actually my preferred method of communication even today is cw.

My code speed is about 28-30 wpm.

I have worked a couple of flood disasters over the years.

It is an excellent hobby. Sometimes I am wondering if it isnt slipping away though. I feel a lot of the time the voice bands are becoming too much like CB. I suppose that is why I much prefer cw over phone bands. When originally licensed it was on the radio I had built from old tube military aircraft radio parts. I also have always enjoyed making my own antennas. I loved the old tube type radios.
There was a saying back then that went like this. "If it doesnt glow in the dark, it isnt a radio."

KG6NQF is my call. Grew up around ham radio... had two brothers and a cousin who were into the hobby but didn't go for my own ticket till about 6 years ago at the "encouragement" of a friend. Said I was going to put it off for about 3 months then suprised him a couple of weeks later after a local club meeting with my certificate. Thanks to K6DWL.

Thank you very much, it is very good question, actually callsign is the unique identification mark,it is unique it can not be alloted to other, just by see it, one can identify to which country the person belongs, and from which part of the world he belongs, what type of license he hold etc, As I belong to India, my Call sign is VU2VIZ, it is ASOC Grade II, I wish to up grade it to that of Grade I or Advanced, so that we can use sattilite communication. I wish some body may suggest me to what is the procees in india please.
