Plus call index
Every call in the CALLERLAB Plus Program Definitions, revised 25 August 2026, in the order the manual prints them. This is an index, not a course: where Mainstream leads explains what Plus changes, and the definitions themselves are CALLERLAB's.

Names that will look familiar
Several Plus calls are named after Mainstream families you already know: Circulate (M19), Trade (M32), Hinge (M43), Tag (M49) and Fold (M48). That is not a coincidence: Plus extends families rather than inventing new ideas.
