I know of you and your business [all positive things of course]. I think you do also post on the AR902Mhz Yahoo list, yes? The FCC assigns a Ham callsign based on your geographic location and/or state/region. They refer to them as, "Call District". Example California will have a W6/K6/N6/A6 etc. prefix whereas New York, New Jersey would have the W2 prefix. The standard callsign selection process is not terribly complicated but the FCC in their madness, has a method. For custom callsigns like mine [my initials] it's called the "vanity" callsign program. Check out this ARRL website for some more indepth information on custom callsigns:http://www.arrl.org/vanity-call-signs 73 Doug W7FDF
