  About Callsigns - New Providence Amateur Radio Club
A callsign is an alpha-numeric code, such as N2XJ or KC2IBB, which is assigned to each licensed amateur radio operator (ham) by the appropriate radio licensing agency of the operator's government.
Callsigns are usually 4 to 6 characters long with at least one number in the middle of the characters.
This is primarily because callsign identification is required by international law, but it's also a handy way for hams to specify a particular operator since each callsign is unique.

Radio Amateurs operate only within internationally agreed frequency bands, which, in many cases are for their exclusive use, although some are shared with other services.

 Beginnings of Amateur Radio
Amateur radio began almost as soon some of the details of Marconi's successful radio experiments became public.
The first amateur radio, like the first commercial radio, used a variant of the Morse telegraph code (called International Code) to transmit messages by turning a radio signal on and off in a rhythmic pattern which spelled out letters, numbers, and a few punctuation marks.
In the beginning of amateur radio most amateurs were much more interested in the fact of the communication than in the content.

 United States Callsign Policies
Finally, as of the 1933 list, with the widespread adoption of radio, the visual signal assignments were eliminated as no longer needed, although ships that had radio transmitters were now instructed they could employ their radio callsigns for signal letter purposes.
The use of identifying radio callsigns actually had its origins in wire telegraphy, where each station and operator along a telegraph line was assigned a short "call" or "signal".
Then, with the passage of the Radio Act of 1912, the Bureau of Navigation was assigned the additional responsibility of licencing both ship and land radio stations, so it now also controlled call letter assignments for land stations, which had also traditionally used two-letter calls.

 Call sign - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In broadcasting and radio communications, a call sign (also known as a callsign or call letters, or abbreviated as a call) is a unique designation for a transmitting station.
Amateur radio call signs are in the international series and normally consist of a one- or two-character prefix, a number (which sometimes corresponds to a geographic area within the country), and a 1, 2, or 3 character suffix.
In addition, in some countries low-power personal and broadcast radio (Citizen's Band, Part 15, and the like) is allowed; a call sign is not always required for such stations, though especially on personal radio services it is considered a matter of etiquette to create one's own.
