Phil,

Not quite your perfect personal identifier, your callsign, since historically
the mapping has changed. I hold W3HCF, which does not divulge my Extra Class,
formerly held K2GUP, W8EJQ, GM5AWF and F0BCX in various countries and states.
In addition, lots of countries have gone out of business and new ones have
taken their places and callsigns. You can, however, assume the callsign
assignment is globally unique as long as you keep your history books up to
date.
