Practicing Call Signs

Call signs are more challenging than text because they are combinations of random letters and a number. Here is a tip on how to practice the call signs for our club members. Click on the link clubcall and save the file to your desktop. Then, following the procedure described in “…Alice And Tom…,” after pressing play, navigate to the file you downloaded previously. (If you have any problem with this procedure, email me at billkodak@verizon.net and I will return via email the file as an attachment.)

You might not want to listen to the entire list at one sitting, so make a copy of the call sign file. Name it current club names, or something similar. After a practice session, note where you stopped. Open the file, and highlight all the call signs up to the point where you left off, cut, then paste this selection at the end of the file. In this way you can loop through the club member’s call signs as often as you like.
