The FCC advisory group PURAC formed in 1976 to study personal radio use contemplates designating state public service agencies with CB style call signs starting with K plus state code and 0911. Ohio would be KOH-0911 and California KCA-0911, with ten states taking part and at least one already assigned KMO-0911. Local public safety agencies may also adopt the scheme.
