Part of the anomalies in the regs that I am trying to show. They are "fixing" the problem with some of
these words, and they do not work properly. The license does not assign a station location. There is no
license associated with a stack of equipment or physical location until a licensed OPERATOR takes control
of the equipment, thereby making it "his" station for the duration of the time he controls it, be that
one minute or one century, physically, or remotely.

Subject: Topband: Amateur Radio Station Callsigns
Every time the issue of station callsigns comes up I hear all kinds
of very inventive distortions of the rules to justify what hams are
doing. A quick trip to the FCC site elicited the following under:
"Amateur Call Sign Systems"
"A unique call sign is assigned to each amateur STATION during the processing of its license
applications. Each new call sign is assigned sequentially using the sequential call sign system, which
is based on the alphabetized regional-group list for the licensee's operator class and mailing address.
The STATION is reassigned its same call sign upon renewal or modification of its license, unless the
licensee applies for a change to a new sequentially assigned or vanity call sign on FCC Form 605."
Hams are very adept at reading into the rules what they want to see not what
the rules actually say!
