callsigns
Station broadcast names
Callsigns are identifying names or codes assigned to radio operators, aircraft, military units, or individuals.
In aviation and military contexts, callsigns replace personal names for clarity and security: Tower, this is Delta Seven requesting clearance.
Pilots and service members often receive informal callsigns as nicknames.
Amateur radio operators use officially assigned callsigns to identify their transmissions.
