However, they have a callsign that is recognised by the Australian authorities and we cannot discriminate just because they only have one foot on the ladder.<div><br></div><div>73 Ian<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">2009/11/20 brucebel <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:brucebel@optusnet.com.au">brucebel@optusnet.com.au</a>></span><br>

Hi Dirk et al,<br>
Any chance of supporting the VK calls with 4 letter suffixes please? I have a chap who cannot log in as spider says his callsign is invalid.<br>

Hi Dirk and Group,<br>
<br>
Oz's 4 letter calls are of a Foundation call nature, where caution<br>
is on the side of better judgement.<br>
<br>
Personally if it was my choice, I'd somehow allow log in but not allow to<br>
send spots, this in my opinion gives the notion to chase the DX spots.<br>
Remembering that some not all get a foundation call sign and then treat<br>
the privilege like a full call.<br>
<br>
Just my thoughts.<br>
<br>
