Made my first 5 DX QSO's with my club callsign (KC2ELX). Finland, Barbados, Virgin Islands, Fed. Republic of Germany, and Azores.
Why did you use your clubs call sign?
Why did you use your clubs call sign?
My contacts were made on 20m and I'm a Tech.
I hate to burst your bubble, but I hope you realize that those contacts, as exciting as they were for you, will not count towards your personal DXCC count. Sorry!
I have been licensed for nearly 20 years and I still get just as excited now over hearing a DX station come back with my callsign as I did back in 1992!
Unless you were working some type of event - there would be no reason for you to use the club call sign - other then to try to cheat the system and get on the HF without being properly licensed.
And what is your callsign???You need to realize that you do not have any privileges as a amateur - using a club call sign beyond the privileges allocated to you by your license.
§ 97.105 Control operator duties.
(b) A station may only be operated in the manner and to the extent permitted by the privileges authorized for the class of operator license held by the control operator.
I understand I am still NEW to the hobby but I don't need anyone to shoot me down for experiementing with other privileges while under supervision of someone with a higher class.
You did nothing wrong, and neither did the Extra class control operator. Or your son, either, for that matter...
Howdy_All has been previously banned under the name Daniel_Boone, and was notorious for giving out really bad advise.
