Today I made a DX contact with TM0L (France) (IOTA FU-070) on 15 meters. On QRZ.com, TM0L references F5OIU as a silent key. I did get a signal report and gave him a SR and # as well. What gives with the SK? Art N0IWQ thel7340@aol.com |

Hi Art, F5OIU is the manager for a former activation of that callsign in 2005. http://www.rsgbiota.org/info/search.php?q=TM0L It is not unusual for short callsigns to be re-used or re-issued--most USA 1x2 callsigns were previously held by someone else. Zack Lau W1VT ARRL Senior Lab Engineer |
