simon:
One of the first things ham's who don't know each other do, is ask the other
his/her call sign...its what you might say is a way to establish common
ground.
If I were to find out a person is a ham, and then upon asking what their
call sign was, they said "oh, im not telling you, for personal reasons or
because i don't feel like it" i would instantly make the assumption, which
would be right, that the person is either unlicensed and is too embarrassed
to admit it, is not quite mentally all there, or is a wanna b ham, or CB'er
who thinks that if he says he has a license, he will be more respectible or
have more credit to his name then if he says he's just a cb'er.
Again, you have put another nail in your own coffin by using that "personal
information" excuse...a hams call sign is about as far from personal
information as you can get.
Its not like your birthday, or your address, or your mothers maden name or
something, its a amateur call sign, and if you had one, you would be dam
proud of telling everyone what it was so that if they ever ran into that
call sign on the air, they would recognize you and know they had run into
you somewhere else.
And if you are keeping a call sign from us, if you have one, for those exact
reasons, then you shouldn't be an amateur operator in the first place.
