[CW] FCC/CW ID ??

[Howard Kraus]

They should carry such a device.  Here in Buffalo, the Police Department
repeaters were all transmitting the wrong callsign in CW.  They never
noticed.  The FCC (local office) never noticed.  This went on for at least a
couple of years.  I noticed, explained to the Police Department that they
were breaking federal laws, they changed all their ID's quickly.
