Subject: [Elecraft] Vanity call question

"I want to learn about vanity call signs, why would I want one? What do they represent?"


A vanity call is one that is self selected rather than being the next in order assigned by FCC. The main reason for getting one is ....vanity. Many select a vanity call that represents their name or initials. Some because the call comes close to spelling a word that has significance for them. Some because it represents an area of interest.


In my case I was assigned G3WYC by UK GPO back in 1967. I chose the vanity call K3WYC when I became licensed in USA.
