I held W5TKI for many years ... then moved to Florida and dutifully
followed the rules at the time by notifying the FCC district office(s)
that I was operating "portable" away from my official FCC address.

When the time limit for doing so ran out ... two years? ... I received
a letter notifying me that I couldn't continue to operate as a portable
station and that an address change ... with new call ... was expected.

They gave me one of the new-at-the-time %*()*&%$# calls ... WA4HAA.
By that time I was the Frequency Coordinator for Florida and the Miami
repeater received WR4HAA.  Confusion reigned.

Then came a Navy MARS call of N0SJP..... still in Florida BTW.

73!
