No mention of State names or specific State prefixes in the Amateur LCD 2015....

(a) 26 January;
(b) 25 April;

(1) Subject to subsection (2A), if the licensee makes a single transmission from an amateur station (other than an amateur beacon station or amateur repeater station), the licensee must transmit the call sign of any station being called, or communicated with, followed by the call sign of the licensee’s amateur station:
(a) at the beginning of the transmission;
(b) at the end of the transmission;
© if the transmission lasts more than 10 minutes — at least once during each period of 10 minutes, or part thereof, in the transmission;
by voice (using the English language), by visual image or by an internationally recognised code.
(2) Subject to subsection (2A), if the licensee makes a series of transmissions from an amateur station (other than an amateur beacon station or amateur repeater station) to a station with which communications have been established, the licensee must transmit the call sign of the station being called, or communicated with, followed by the call sign of the licensee’s amateur station:
(a) at the beginning of the series of transmissions;
(b) at the end of the series of transmissions;
© if the series of transmissions lasts more than 10 minutes — at least once during each period of 10 minutes, or part thereof, in the course of the series;
by voice (using the English language), by visual image or by an internationally recognised code.
(2A) If:
(a) there are two or more qualified operators participating in emergency services operations or training exercises for emergency services; and
(b) two or more of those qualified operators are operating stations ([b]the group of stations[/b]) for the purposes of those operations or exercises;
for transmissions relating to those operations or exercises the licensee must ensure that arrangements are in place for at least one station in the group of stations to transmit the call signs of all of the stations in the group of stations:
© at the beginning of a transmission, or series of transmissions;
(d) at the end of a transmission or series of transmissions;
(e) if a transmission or series of transmissions lasts for more than 30 minutes — at least once during each period of 30 minutes, or part thereof, of the transmission or series of transmissions;

Other matters
(3) Subject to subsection (3A), the licensee must not operate an amateur station unless:
(a) the content of the signal is intelligible; or
(b) if the content of the signal is unintelligible – the signal is transmitted for the purposes of conducting a brief test or making an adjustment to the station.
(3A) The licensee must not operate an amateur station to transmit signals that are encoded for the purpose of obscuring the meaning of the signals, except for:
(a) signals exchanged between an amateur station and a space station in an amateur-satellite service for the purpose of controlling the operation of the space station; and
(b) signals exchanged between an amateur station and an unattended amateur station for the purpose of controlling the operation of the unattended amateur station; and
© intercommunications when participating in emergency services operations or training exercises related to emergency services.
(4) The licensee must not operate an amateur station if its operation causes interference to radiocommunications due to transmissions that:
(a) vary from a frequency on which the station is authorised to operate; or
(b) have key impact emissions as a side effect of Morse code transmission; or
© contain harmonics; or
(d) causes an emission outside the necessary bandwidth of the transmission.
(5) The licensee must take measures that are reasonably practicable to erect, fix, place and use an amateur station in a way that avoids interference to the efficient and convenient working of other stations.
(6) If the licensee proposes to use an amateur station to retransmit a transmission originating from another amateur station ([b]second station[/b]), the licensee must:
(a) obtain the consent of the licensee making the transmission from the second station to retransmit the transmission; and
(b) transmit the second station’s call sign at the beginning and the end of each transmission; and
