Sec. 80.519 Station identification.
(a) Stations must identify transmissions by announcing in the English
language the station's assigned call sign. In lieu of the identification of
the station by voice, the official call sign may be transmitted by
tone-modulated telegraphy in international Morse Code manually or by means
of an automatic device approved by the Commission. Transmissions on the
navigation frequency (156.650 MHz) by stations on drawbridges may be
identified by use of the name of the bridge in lieu of the call sign.
Identification must be made:
(1) At the beginning and end of each exchange of communications and;
(2) At intervals not exceeding 15 minutes whenever transmissions or
communications are sustained for more than 15 minutes.
(b) Marine utility stations, private coast stations, and associated
hand-held radios, when exchanging communications, may be identified by a
unit identifier in lieu of the call sign. Identification by transmission of
the assigned call sign must be at the end of the exchange or at least once
every 15 minutes.
