Then I wonder what callsigns the Air Force gets. 

Nevertheless, there was a shortwave broadcasting station that got an N 
callsign a few years ago.  I believe it is either no longer operating or 
no longer operating with the N callsign.  Or perhaps it got a CP and never 
got on the air.  I don't remember the details and haven't the time right 
now to peruse through old issues of Monitoring Times to find it.
