During the week we received word from an amateur who learned that their callsign was showing as available on the callsign register maintained by the Wireless Institute of Australia.

It appears that an as yet unknown person changed that callsign status to available.

We strongly recommend that you check the WIA website to see if your callsign has inadvertently been marked as available.

Let us know if you find any more anomalies, newswest@vk6.net.
