Talk:Call sign

In U.S. dictionaries, the term is two words: call sign. Furthermore, the preferred term in dictionaries is call letters. I propose this article be moved to Call letters, and that Callsign and Call sign be redirected to Call letters. Kingturtle 18:37 May 10, 2003 (UTC)

Or is this article about ham radio licenses? Kingturtle 18:38 May 10, 2003 (UTC)

Well, it seems to be about both. And never heard Call Letters used in reference to an amateur radio designation. Also, Google finds a million and a half uses of callsign and only 237,00 uses of "call sign". It also offers to correct call sign to callsign. OTOH, the form prefered by the American Radio Relay League is call sign. Still, I'd counsel leaving things as they are. Bill 15:41 6 Jun 2003 (UTC)

I really prefer tactical designation to tactical callsign. Uniqueness is an important characteristic of a callsign. Unless there's strong objection, I'm going to rewrite the article to observe this distinction. Bill 16:16 6 Jun 2003 (UTC)

Aussie Callsigns
