I ask again, what is so hard about putting up call letters and/or city that a station is in?

Question

I've asked this question a while back ago and for awhile it looked as if things were going smoothly. However, it is starting to happen again whereas people are trying to get info regarding contests and use the identifier of a station (e.g. V-100, IS-95) but NOT note the call letters or the city the station is based in. The big culprits are from New York and Chicago.

Being that you have millions of people from all over the world reading questions, with radio stations having similar identifiers throughout, one cannot know whether you are talking about a station in your city or somewhere else.

At one time, I was "chewed" out by someone about this. In all seriousness, what is hard about putting up a city...at the very least if you don't know the call letters?

Answer 1

Most people don't realize that every station has a call sign and the station is only listenable in their area; certainly those that are younger will be guilty of that.  Some of these folks have never traveled outside of the market.  I suppose that when schools start teaching basic radio and marketing courses, we could possibly still could be seeing questions like this.

Answer 2

you guys need to get a life

Answer 3

These are the same people who can't be bothered to spell things properly or insert basic punctuation. They are lazy and have come to expect that other people will do all the work for them. Look at all the kids who ask other people to do their homework for them in these forums. Then they wonder why the best job they can ever expect to get is working at the local doughnut or fast food franchise.

Answer 4

I have answered this question before and it all boils down to people (usually tweens and teens) who don't realize how far yahoo answers and the people who respond are away from you.

For example Tony S is my guess in New York. I'm located in the state of Louisiana where I hear signals from up to 3 different states at times

But I agree , I wish we could put a warning of some sort when you post here sometimes

Answer 5

The lack of intelligence

Or they are scammers
