The vanity project.

When changing my callsign, I didn’t think about everything I would have to address when doing so. The website domains would have to be purchased, the graphics and various site variables would have to be updated. My local clubs would have to be contacted for updated membership ID’s and whatnot. E-mail addresses would have to be modifed. New QSL cards would have to be ordered. Digital mode software would have to be updated. A new QRZ profile would have to be created. The ARRL would have to be updated to keep my subscription to QST coming. My tongue would have to be trained to speak my new call in my sleep…

…and a new license would have to be signed and hung on the wall. OK, so it’s not all that bad.

KB3ELT is now N3QO

The FCC completed my vanity call sign request today. I am now N3QO.

Vanity app….

I submitted a new application to the FCC for a vanity call. So far they’re predicting N3QO as my assignment. I also resubmitted for W3EC and K3EC just in case the existing applications are dismissed.
