I'm bored with my current call, looking at getting a vanity...

Not a CW guy, but I see W9III is available, which is about as simple as you can get, CW wise..

I was also thinking about something like K7XSP, just because it looks cool..hahah.. also a wø call looks good

Suggestions?

Also, I got another car, a geezer car (Grand Marquis) and will be getting a ham tag, because it belongs on an old geezer car.....

Also...

I was looking at a smaller dual band NMO antenna, something along the lines of the Comet B10, any suggestions..

I am only gonna go with lip mounts, not drilling holes....

I don't know if you guys are getting it or not.


I'm not getting a vanity plate, I'm getting a vanity CALLSIGN... which will then be my AMATEUR RADIO LICENSE PLATE.

App submitted , payment via CC online..

Holy crap that was easy...

Now I just gotta wait 2 weeks for them to approve it, and another month for DOL to issue the plate.


Edit: I went with something that should be REAL easy to pick out of a pileup.

XSP.

Yeah...

Say it again..


XS P.


HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAH

:lol:

Well, I guess since they won't let you have a "WSP" vanity call license plate, that's as close as you're going to get...

I didn't think of it like that, but I guess you're right.. :-p

I wanted a 7 call, and wanted something memorable.... I figured excess pee would be memorable .... :lol:
