   Sunshine, it's dead easy to tell whether a callsign holder is the   
   original or not

   Just ask yourself, Ian, why it's G3 callsigns that are sought after.   
      
   No-one wants a recycled M-nothing or G8 call.

   See above. Hiding under a recycled call doesn't help.   
      
   Of course, if you're as dim as a modern emmnothing, as demonstrated   
   daily on this group, that'll show as soon as you open your gob, no   
   matter what call is being used - except, of course, if they are as dim   
   as you. I blame the dim-witted concept and execution of the new   
   licensing scheme for bringing in, well,  the dimwits.

   Callsign envy is like career envy - deep-seated and corrosive. I wonder   
   if the FBI link it to early failures in life?
