Oldcalls

Hi, I am Tony I0JX
How many old two-letter calls are left in Italy?

Updated to May 2017

How to identify the old two-letter calls

Just for fun, I have written a simple computer program for counting the old Italian calls having a two-letter suffix (like mine, JX). The current number of such calls is not very high, as they are not reassigned when becoming available (no vanity call program in Italy). Those calls can have:

either a one-letter prefix (like I0JX)
or a two-letter prefix (like IT9JT). Such prefixes are held by hams living in the major islands (IS0 and IT9), in the smaller islands (IA5, IB0, IC8, ID9, IE9, IF9, IG9, IH9, IL7 and IM0) or in the three special-statute regions (IN3, IV3 and IX1)

Two-letter calls with IW prefix are not herein considered. As a matter of fact the IW calls (originally assigned to VHF-only licensees but now having also access to HF) may have a two-letter suffix, but these are not necessarily old calls, them being simply assigned in alphabetical order along with the three-letter suffixes (e.g. a typical assignment sequence is IW0BZY, IW0BZZ, IW0CA, IW0CAA, IW0CAB...).

It should also be noted that:

the two-letter suffixes were never repeated in different call areas (if I0JX exists, 1IJX, I2JX ... IT9JX and IS0JX never existed). This means that the maximum number of old calls with a two-letter suffix is 676;
calls with a two-letter suffix may also be used by special-event stations (e.g. IR5GM) and club stations (e.g. IQ0AM), but these are not old calls, so they are also disregarded here;
the more recent Italian calls (i.e. those with prefix IK, IZ or IU) were never issued with a two-letter suffix (i.e. IK0AA, IZ0AA or IU0AA do no exist);

My program takes data from QRZ.com and OM-ITALIA, a nearly official Italian callbook being regularly updated every two months. I cannot be 100% sure that all deceased hams and expired licences were removed from those databases, so the current grand total of 258 calls may be somewhat overstimated.

The "active" old two-letter calls

How many of these are active? Difficult to tell, also because one should firstly define what "active" means. So, I have arbitrarily considered two thresholds with regard to the number of lookups that a ham has got on QRZ.COM:

a ham having got at least 2,000 lookups is here called a "fairly active" ham and is shown in blue
a ham having got at least 8,000 lookups is here called a "very active" ham and is shown in red

The result of such analysis is shown below:

the "fairly active" hams having an old call with a two-letter suffix are 19
the "very active" hams having an old call with a two-letter suffix are 11
the "active" hams in general are then 30, i.e. nearly 11% of all old calls with a two-letter suffix.

Italian Call-areas, Regions, Provinces

Italy is subdivided into twenty Regions. Picture below shows the Regions and the associated ham-radio call area.

As you can see, a call area encompasses one or more Regions (with the single exception of Region Basilicata, also called Lucania, which spans across two call areas). The five special-statute Regions (Trentino Alto Adige, Sardegna, Sicilia, Friuli Venezia Giulia e Valle d'Aosta) have a special prefix (IN3, IS0, IT9, IV3, IX1) instead of the usual I, IK or IZ.

Each Region comprises one or more Provinces. Picture below shows the inter-Region boundaries marked in red, and the inter-Province boundaries in blue. In most cases the Province name coincides with that of the Province chief town (e.g. we have the "Roma Province", the "Milano Province", etc.); accordingly the Province two-letter code usually is an abbreviation of the Province chief town (e.g. Province "MI" for Milan; you can see those codes on car plates).

The above picture does not show 7 new provinces that have been been added not many years ago (the total number of provinces is currently 110). These are:

BT (Barletta-Andria-Trani), comprising territory formerly belonging to the FG and BA provinces;
CI (Carbonia-Iglesias), comprising territory formerly belonging to the CA province;
FM (Fermo), comprising territory formerly belonging to the AP province;
MD (Medio Campidano), comprising territory formerly belonging to the CA province;
MZ (Monza e Brianza), comprising territory formerly belonging to the MI province;
OG (Ogliastra), comprising territory formerly belonging to the NU province;
OT (Olbia-Tempio), comprising territory formerly belonging to the SS and NU provinces.

Those new provinces have however all been taken into account in the calls list shown below.

Old two-letter calls listing

As already mentioned:

the "fairly active" hams (i.e. those having at least 2,000 lookups on QRZ.COM) are shown in blue
the "very active" hams (i.e. those having at least 8,000 lookups on QRZ.COM) are shown in red
