I have always wondered about a vanity callsign for my US licence. I was automatically assigned KEØGGA when I passed my technician and general class exams and that was just fine. When I passed by extra class, I saw that KØLX was available but my licence class hadn’t been upgraded at that point so I couldn’t go for it.
Fast forward a couple of years and I was idly perusing ae7q.com (mainly due to procrastination) and found KØYC available. I applied for it – as did around five others – and to my amazement, it was granted to me on 27th August!
While KØYC might not be that personal to me, it’s nice to have a 1×2 callsign and I can still look around for the future.
