Aussie callsign options...?
#4
The allocation of a "forever" callsign has to be one of the best ideas I have heard in a very long time.  

It doesn't mean that the licence grades are diminished and it provides more reliance on the individual to operate within their specific licence conditions.

I often look up the ACMA Register to check details on someone who registers for forum access, and sometimes for stations I hear on-air, and it is a simple enough process. 
Try it yourself :  https://web.acma.gov.au/rrl/register_search.main_page and enter a callsign in the relevant data box.

Some 25-odd years ago, I was offered the callsign VK4DH (my initials) when the previous licensee relinquished it - and I considered it for all of about 30 seconds before deciding to keep my existing callsign - which has been "mine" since early 1976 (and not previously issued).  Back then I upgraded from LAOCP to AOCP so underwent a callsign change from VK4ZDC (issued in 1967).  
This "forever" idea means that such a change would be unnecessary.

Now it is only a matter of getting ACMA agreement to make the implementation happen. Big Grin
