Callsign not following accepted formats

[KP4AJ]

Hi:
Not functional related, but included here for a future. Test set a callsign as ROBERT which not follows accepted format. Aware there are other key developments in process. Also aware there are various callsign structure conventions across the world.

Well thinking of Tactical callsigns (Hospital, Distribution, etc) in EMCOMM situations then the callsign format flexibility could be justified.

There is an unused module in D-Rats that attempts to validate call signs for two countries.

There is also an unused structure in D-Rats that is being loaded with received call signs that I can not find anything ever reading. So there is a lot of room for improvement

I can not find the ticket, but it is possible that APRS and Winlink may have more restrictive requirements for the Station Session ID than what D-Rats does, However they all may share the same call sign and session id configuration.
