My vanity callsign is K0ZZZ, because that is one that people see on the waterfall and have to respond to, rather than the old generic one I had before KB3DPS.

This is only a suggestion, but due to the number of people trolling the internet now days providing your callsign which can be tracked by any would be theif online to get your home address then easy access to your weapons and other items might be something you want to do the the Private message board instead of the forums. I know this was posed upon me by another member of this site when I first joined.

Yeah, I post with my real name, so callsign doesn't make it easier. I publish gun software under my real name, so it's all out there anyway. Besides, I have no guns or anything of value, I'm just here for the camaraderie!!! Thanks for the thought though!

So you can apply for a vanity at any point then? For some reason I thought you had to decide and pick one before you take the test...

Nope, you need a valid license before you can get a vanity, as far as I know.

Finally! I can listen to the radio again! I was getting some serious withdrawals to and from work!

Going down to take the test today.

good luck

Waitin' to hear the results!

Reminder: You don't need to wait on receiving the actual paper license. Once you're assigned a callsign (search here http://www.arrl.org/fcc/fcclook.php3) you can get right on the air.
