Interesting, because they did not used to issue calls with O or I in them "because they were easily confused with 0 and 1" (FCC's statement, not mine).

Yes, they now issue vanity calls for a fee of something around $15.00 for
the 10 year term of the license.  We also have another club member who still
holds his ca 1940s cal, W4OXH.

Ahhh, that could be. I haven't kept up with call signs, NOR Amateur Radio in years and years... Used to be, an early call sign, a low number, meant the operator was in a long time. Issued as the applications came in. It may now be that unissued calls will go to the requisitioner, for a fee. . . Don't know.

But, thanks for bringing it up.
