[RTTY] US call signs (BARTG)

[Larry]

It is an argument that has come up many, many times since the FCC changed 
the rules in 1978. But the answer to your question is no. 1978 and prior you 
could sign K0RC/# where # is the call district you move to. In theory if the 
FCC reverted to the previous rules you could again sign K0RC/#. The move 
back to the previous rules would generate a huge administrative problem for 
the FCC. Even if you could talk those of us in different call districts to 
request new call signs consistent with the call districts it could be a huge 
administrative problem and not all would do the change without an FCC 
directive (highly unlikely).

So basically what you're saying is if I want to keep my call sign, the
FCC has locked me out of moving to another district?
