CALLSIGN Amateur Radio License Callsign Server Echo A conference for making inquiries about the current status of the licenses of Amateur Radio ("Ham") operators. The Callsign Server was originally seen in the Backboned echo AMATEUR_RADIO, but there was sufficient demand for this echo to be placed on the Backbone. The method of using the CALLSIGN echo is simple. A message is sent from a user to "Callsign Server", with the subject being "", in which case, if there is a match, the Server will produce the name, address, and type of class license that the operator possesses. At this time, the server will ignore all requests for name or ZIP-code searches. No other discussions will be allowed on the echo, except for questions on how to correctly operate the Callsign Server (which will be posted as a FAQ file, along with the rules of the echo). All callers are welcome, but please limit your requests to no more than two a week.

Although no longer supported by Digital Research (now a part of Novell), CP/M is an active area of work for many programmers who continue to refine it, adapt it, and port it to additional platforms.
