When I moved from CA to NM (6 to 5), I changed calls but I also upgraded so it was easy. When I moved from NM to VT (5 to 1) I kept my call (AA5AC) but I got tired of tacking /1 on the end or having folks surprised that the 5 they were working was not in 5-land. I got a vanity call with a 1 in it. About a year ago, I got a different vanity call, again with a 1.
I guess I'm old-fashioned and wish the numbers still indicated where you are rather than where you were. At the same time, I understand folks wanting to keep their call. When I was looking at vanity calls, I was interested in a call out of my district K3ITH but it was taken. The other one I considered, KE1TH would have been great, but it too was taken. - Keith N1AS - - K2 5411.ssb.100 - - K3 wave 3 - _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [email protected] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
