As a matter of fact, no; from
http://edocket.access.gpo.gov/cfr_2002/octqtr/47cfr97.119.htm :
"Sec. 97.119  Station identification.

    (a) Each amateur station, except a space station or telecommand 
station, must transmit its assigned call sign on its transmitting 
channel at the end of each communication, and at least every 10 minutes 
during a communication, for the purpose of clearly making the source of 
the transmissions from the station known to those receiving
the transmissions. ..."

That said, I think most of the offenders being cited in this thread are
DX stations not under jurisdiction of the US government.
