[Elecraft] 20 meter CW

[Ron D'Eau Claire]

Rather superfluous now that the call sign no longer identifies the FCC
engineering district of the home station. 

That was one of the all-time bad moves by the FCC, IMHO, but it was popular
among Hams who moved out of the district but couldn't bear to give up their
call sign. 

73, Ron AC7AC (ex, W6QAS, ex AC6Y, both random call assignments by the FCC.
I put my call where my mouth was when I moved to Oregon and let the FCC
computer assign me a random 7 area call and got AC7AC.  It's longer but it's
a neat call.)

When I am in New Hampshire I sign AE6JV/1 on PSK although it isn't required.

Cheers - Bill, AE6JV/1
