§ 97.119 Station identification.
(a) Each amateur station, except a space station or telecommand station, 
must transmit its assigned call sign on its transmitting
channel at the end of each communication, and at least every 10 minutes 
during a communication, for the purpose of clearly making
the source of the transmissions from the station known to those 
receiving the transmissions. No station may transmit unidentified
communications or signals, or transmit as the station call sign, any 
call sign not authorized to the station.
(b) The call sign must be transmitted with an emission authorized for 
the transmitting channel in one of the following ways: (1) By a CW
