Transmitting Station Identity

When you use a radio you should always identify yourself to the rest of the network (everyone else using the radios in the same area). To do this you should start every transmission with your radio's callsign. Although this is a requirement of the license, the main reason for doing this is to make sure that everyone knows who is talking.

The callsign used must be the one registered to that radio regardless of who is using it and what they are using it for. You cannot generate your own callsigns, even for one-off situations such as a radio being used as a control station. If you require a control callsign, then you must apply to the P.M.R. Officer. The control callsign may only be used when that radio is acting as control. At all other times, the normal callsign must be used.
