   It used to be like that here too, but it has changed.  Now the callsign   
   is personal.  E.g. spouses operating the same station each use their   
   own callsign.   
   (although it is always permitted here to let unlicensed persons operate   
   the station under supervision of the licensed operator, much like Jota   
   and Kidsday operation)   
      
   Funny is that the old hats who wanted to protect the PA0 prefix claiming   
   that those callsigns were so personal, forgot to consider that in the   
   days they were issued the rules here were just as written above.   
   (i.e. those callsigns were station callsigns, not personal callsigns)
