Here are the rules for selecting your Location Code:
- If you are currently employed by a Bell System or former Bell System entity, use the location code associated with that entity.
- If you are currently retired from or used to work for a Bell or former Bell company, you are free to use any location code listed below associated with an entity where you once worked.
- If you have never been affiliated with the Bell System, use location code ‘ZZ’.
- Feel free to use a code listed below, even if it is antiquated, if it reflects an entity that your location evolved from.
- In general, if you can’t find an exact match, choose a location code that is closest in locale or heritage to your Bell System service.
- If you still cannot find a suitable Location Code you are comfortable with, contact the National Coordinator.
If there is not a Location Coordinator listed for your location, or if they are unreachable, send your logs directly to the CQ-WE National Coordinator.
