I was at Camp Drake, Japan, which was RUAD, in 1968-70. Our tributary 
stations were RUADAAA through I don't remember what. 

I suspect that the first letter is, or the first two or three letters 
are, related to geographic area, command, or something of the sort,   
that things get tree-structured from that point on, and that there is 
no _meaning_ to the callsign other than that which can be determined  
by looking at its position in the tree.                               

I'm quite certain that that was the case with respect to our tribs, 
and see no reason why we would have been "special" in that regard.
