EmilyI got my call sign! KC3ZXS. A mouthful for sure, I’m going to stumble over that quite a few times.
Thank you so much again to @kb6nu for the great class!
K5KGT@boda Congrats!! Yes, heh, that is a mouthful. My first was as well, KI5JIV. If you're so inclined, keep your eye on https://www.radioqth.net/vanity/available and pounce on one you like. Get on the air!
@K5KGT is it really only an additional $35 for a vanity one? I assumed there would be an additional test or waiting period
@boda Yep, it's whatever the 'changing' fee is, that sounds right. Just have the request ready to fill out then go for it when one comes available or you find one that means something to you. Here's the rules for picking something appropriate for your class:: https://www.fcc.gov/wireless/bureau-divisions/mobility-division/amateur-radio-service/amateur-call-sign-systems .
Amateur Call Sign Systems
About A unique call sign is assigned to each amateur station during the processing of its license applications. Each new call sign is assigned sequentially using the sequential call sign system, which is based on the alphabetized regional-group list for the licensee's operator class and mailing address. The station is reassigned its same call sign upon renewal or modification of its license, unless the licensee applies for a change to a new sequentially assigned or vanity call sign on FCC Form 605.
