I took WA1MKH as a vanity call when I got extra. I was KA1MKH, but
*everybody* on 75 meter AM kept calling me WA1MKH - so I changed it to make
the world right again. LOL

I fought the M and N mixup the whole time I was KN4IM.....it was
AWFUL. I vowed NEVER AGAIN to have calls with N or M or D or B or E
in it. Very confusing.

My second choice was N4 (or maybe it was K4) SEX, which I figured was
real easy to remember....even for me! It was open and available....

But, I always wanted an original W4 call, a bit of nostalgia. Now I
have it for life....er, ah...as long as I'm willing to PAY for
it....dammit.

Why the recurring cost for a vanity call? Once it's on the database,
it's just an FCC RIPOFF!!
