New Qlink call signs

[Guest Chainsaw]

From a mailing list I belong to. Many thanks to Mark D and others.

 

As of 5th Jan, both Sunstate and Eastern have changed their callsigns to"QLink"

Can't quite remember the protocol, but something like this.

 

The first number is now dropped, which is always a 2.

 

If any following numbers are 0, then these are dropped an the last

 

digits after the 0 are used

 

Q400 use D in the callsign.

 

Therefore

 

Eastern 2001 would become QLink 1

 

Sunstate 2267would become Qlink 267

 

Eastern2048 would become Qlink 48

 

Sunstate 594D would become Qlink 594D being a Q400.

Thought I was hearing things yesterday when I monitored my first Qlink callsign :biggrin:.... BTW one confused pilot today called "Substate Qlink " .. He'll get it right eventually ..
