Not much point if I and my little group are not part of this over complicated system, and as BP points out my callsign from this group would be Northern Raider, as on the other network of preppers it is Raptor.
If you're signed up to more than one group/board you may have more than one user name and there in lies the complication AND your ID can be easily duplicated because there is nothing to stop me joining another group/board using a user name from this board.......
That's why you need a unique validation ID in the call sign that ONLY bona fide members of this group know.
How many users on the CB are called Slim Jim or big daddy; a shed-load I'll bet......
