Summon Leo, say, for identification (4,4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

call sign

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'identification' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are singular nouns.
Maybe there's an association between them I don't understand?

'summon leo say' is the wordplay.
'summon' becomes 'call' (I've seen this before).
'leo say' becomes 'sign' (leo is a kind of sign).
'call'+'sign'='CALL SIGN'

'for' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for call sign that I've seen before include "Identifying code of sender or receiver of broadcast message" , "Unique designation in radio communications" , "A wireless operator's identification" , "Air Force One, say" , "Radio ID" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
