"Our
telephone call sign up in I Corps when I was there 70-71 was Heavyweight. The
only radio call sign I remember was that in late 70, the Bn FDC was Kingly Bend
1, shortened to Kingly 1. I remember the call signs of AO’s in the O-1 Birddogs
covering our area were “Cat Killer” and a number. Our helicopter call sign for a
long time was “Sneaky White 11.” "

"While James M. MacMurer was Bn Co., the call sign was Red Scorpion"

"We were Heavyweight until we left country. That
was the switchboard. As far as on radio it changed monthly if not sooner. A lot
of times the sheets with call signs became lost. Then we would have to
redistribute new ones."

"Cheyenne 43 for the longest. Then we changed to
things like Quebec 6 and other call signs that had an alphanumeric designation."
Johnnie Pearson |
"Cheyenne 4 while at Gia Le and Operation
Thor"

"I was a radio operator with the TOC . I spent
90% of the time with different units of the 101st Abn. From Duc Pho, Phu Bai,
Dong Ha, and in the general area of I corps near the DMZ for about 9 months. I
called in so many air strikes and Arty support that I can't remember. I'm trying
to remember some of the call signs from different units. Mine was DeadEye 3
Kilo."

"MET callsigns (’69-’70). When I put out the MET (pre-determined times) on the
radio. There were usually 4 to 5 stations that identified themselves. I didn’t
know who they were … we just broadcasted.
Worn Bones, Fairfax Murder, Chamber Coils, Swampy Cupcakes, Purple “something”
(rain, maybe ?)."
