[Elecraft] Vanity call question

[JOSEPH OLSEN]

I was originally licensed as KN3OTM as a “rock bound” Novice in Baltimore, MD. Then K3OTM as a Technician. 

Years later in Kansas when I got back to our hobby I was N0LLN until I passed my Extra Class exam and was assigned AA0BV by the FCC. 

I like the CW sound of the AA0BV .-  .-  - - - - -  -...  ...- and will keep this call. When I first arrived in CM88 the “0” caused some confusion on VHF but with all the vanity calls and the easy internet lookup of call signs my “0” is no longer remarkable.

They were gone when I decided to go for a two letter call.   So the least amount of change was having the R dropped from K2TKR.   Not a bad call but have had the TK read as Q often enough.   Years ago was given Tea Kettle for phonetics and do use it.
