Using my New CT call sign?

Guest

I’ve just been given my new CT call sign which is 26-CT-3865

But can I ask, do I say the whole thing or do I discount the first two numbers (26) and just use the CT- 3865 part?

I’ve looked on the forum, but couldn’t find anything.

26 is your country or division number
ct club name
3865 is your unit number
really only need 26 if dxing or calling out side england if local contacts just use ct3865

Cheers Mark, I thought that might have been the case, but I just wanted to check for peace of mind.

If the conditions are good and you can hear foreign voices then put the 26 part in but for just local as above.
Years ago when conditions where very good i have talked all over Europe on FM and the odd one further afield.

Well fingers crossed that might happen for me at some point.
