   There are a lot of misconceptions in the two HAM radio societies.

   One is "last names" some think they are not allowed, when actually we
are automatically on a first name (and call) basis with all other hams.

   Another is the use of assigned call signs other than when required.
(after 10 minutes, every 10 minutes and at the end of every QSO)
   The uses otherwise is simply a matter of pride.
