As added to the terms of use today:
Individuals who have a GMRS license AND an Amateur Radio license AND are members of the SWCRS in good standing may utilize the club’s callsign to call for other operators on amateur frequencies, by calling for stations using N7GMR / [station number]. Where station number is given, give the ending numbers of the intended GMRS callsign – for example: If I know WRCU527 is also an amateur radio operator, but don’t know their amateur callsign, one could call as follows:
“N7GMR stroke 527 this is K6DSA.”
Once contact is established, members are to use their personal amateur callsigns and disuse the club’s callsign unless explicitly authorized by the callsign trustee.
Stations wishing to operate a special station under the club’s callsign must send an email to, coordinate with, and have approval from the club station trustee: David Adriaanse, WQVS960 / K6DSA – wqvs960@swcrs.org
Use of the SWCRS Amateur Radio Club Callsign does not grant any additional operating privileges above those of the control operator; if you are a technician class amateur license holder, you will still have technician privileges. If you do not hold an amateur radio license personally, you still will not have amateur operating privileges. The club station callsign is just an identification for members to operate under when they also have an amateur license themselves, and are conducting operations in the interest of the group.
