I suppose it would depend on the individual BBS package, but in my limited experience there are no handles, just callsigns.

Were I to explore this in Synchronet again, an optional per-user callsign would be stored somewhere to achieve that mapping, or you could have a separate account for ham purposes. Not sure which; there are pros and cons to each.
