[aprssig] Use call without SSID?

[Earl Needham]

I don't control any digis. 

But when I've been operating whatever mode for decades, maybe DXing or APRS or whatever, and someone with 4 days' experience and bad data tries to tell me that what I've been is incorrect -- well I "put them on permanent disregard". If that means a BUDLIST entry, that's ok. It saves arguing all around and let's the new guy go learn it on his own. Trying to correct someone when they have such limited experience just makes me think they're not open for correction, or even discussion.

Nothing says "welcome to APRS where we all share one channel" like
BUDLISTing out the people that annoy you, hopefully you don't 'control' any
digi's.

Pick whatever 'guideline' you want for SSID, there are some common ones in
use, but frankly it matters little.  What is more important is to keep the
system and our attitudes open and functional as we bring new people into the
hobby.  'Locking out' people who piss you off is hardly going to promote the
hobby, or yourself.
