Change to VKS Callsigns

That's news to me Wayne...although the Base Ops are treated as mushrooms...

Hi Wayne
This has been in the pipe lines for some time now to stop confusion when conditions are bad. The reason behind it is very clear and makes great sense. In the event that they can not clearly read your Romeo part of the call sing, you are the only person to have 2292.
With the old number issue, there could have been a Romeo 292 and a Sierra 292. In an emergency situation there could be some confusion hearing the first part of your call sign. With the new system, as long as they receive the 2292, they will know exactly who it is.

ex Sierra 113, now Sierra 4113

I was under the impression the state prezix remained the same but all non unique numbers were changed.
pretty sure 2 years ago or so I was told about my number being unique so it fitted into the new system which would be rolled out but AFAIK I am still WHISKEY 4057

Hi Wayne just checked VKS website and my e-mail, there is nothing about changes in either,what happens if same numbers are issued in each state, but now without the prefix or is it maybe that new members are now issued with a "mobile" prefix and old members stay the same

Hi Wayne,

It looks like only "new" call signs" have changed. Best I don't lapse again!!!!!

Cheers
