ExplorOz UHF Radio Callsigns

See posts 30918 & 30973 for discussion of the topic so far.
Well, as promised I went to a vantage point in Adelaide at 6pm on Wednesday and announced my presence and called for any ExplorOz members.
Interest was livel: three or four wanted to know what I was on about and what was ExplorOz so I directed them to the website.
About the same no of callers knew about the site and had visited it and used it previously.
There were one or two who erroneously thought I was doing a channel 10 takeover bid which idea I had to reassure them was not the case and a few turkeys who would try to disrupt anything to give themselves some purpose in life apparently.
And One member - Dean came up and supported. Thanks Dean.
For fun, tonight I had a go again and got to Tonytruck who is most enthusiastic about the site and was one of the respondents on Wed.
So far so good. There was quite a bit of enthusiasm for the idea and a few people were introduced to the site - not a bad thing in itself.
So I'll have a go again on Sunday at 6pm again using Ch 10. (Sometimes it appears good to call on 10 then go up to an agreed alternative when 10 is busy- standard marine practice in my experience)
I suspect that persistence is the answer and the more the name ExplorOz is used the more people will be familiar with the callsign and respond.
One advantage for an allocated # or use of a membership # is that it gives one more attraction to become a member?? However I'll stick to my agreed callsign "ExplorOz Camper"

Cheers,
Camper
