.... that had a valid 2 x 2 callsign.
just spinin the VFO a few minutes ago and got into a QSO with an person in ALASKA with a 2 x 2 call. I don't normally look up calls to check the class but, after what he told me, I did in this case.
we were on 28.495 and there was some QRM, so I asked him to "move up 10",...... he (correctly) informed me that he couldn't do that because then he would be out of band.
I didn't pursue that idea any further and we continued our QSO.
after we had cleared, I did look him up, and YES, he was a TECH with a valid 2 x 2 call.
I knew that GENERALS could get a KL7## call with a valid mailing address, but, this was a TECH with a KL1## call.
If some one would have told me this was possible , I would have bet the farm that they were wrong.
