HAM HAPPENINGS: FACEBOOK SAYS OK TO HAM CALLS AS ALTERNATE  NAME

Officially licensed amateur radio operators may now use their  call 
sign as their alternate name, or nickname, on their individual  Facebook 
profiles.
This thanks to Richard Bobbitt, NW7OR, who recently  organized a 
petition drive on the social media site in the hope of  achieving this goal.

It turned out that Jeff Ferland, KB1PNB, who works  at the Facebook 
Headquarters in Menlo Park, California found the  petition on an 
amateur radio Facebook Group to which he belongs. After  doing a bit of 
research Ferland wrote the necessary code, then got it  reviewed and 
approved.

To add your call Bobitt says to go to go to  “Settings”, then click on 
“Edit Your Name.” In the middle of the page  you will see the words 
“Alternate Name.” That’s where you can add your  callsign.

Bobbitt says that the petition was originally the idea of  Richard 
Allcorn, KW7PTL, without whom, this may not have happened so  easily and 
quickly.
Over 1000 hams on Facebook signed the petition within the  first week 
or so after it was posted on the various Facebook ham radio  pages.
