Unless of course there is more than one Len, then you could have used the
plural possessive...

Grandpa and his ego qualify as two separate entities.

I cannot possibly top the most egotistic hambone in here, as
witness the following post from Brian Burke:

Who was harmed by the assignment of those
vanity callsigns?

For the record, none of the club callsigns I have ever
trusteed for have been "vanity" callsigns.

Ooops - looks like I was mistaken about the vanity aspect.

If they were not vanity callsigns, then they were all sequentially
issued, right?

Yes, nine (9) sequentially issued for Hawaii. Here's a query that I
ran in 1998 or 1999. Note the PO Box #... no wonder Jeff was working
hard to disassociate himself from the guy that hijacked his PO Box.

Of the EIGHT phony clubs' callsigns, six are presently unassigned,
"not in the database." KH6DDP is presently granted to Yukio Higa,
a General class ham in Honolulu. KB1CCE expired on 20 Feb 07 and
does not appear to have been renewed.

"KH6HZ" is the phony-area callsign Mikey got away with...but
that's already been discussed at length with Mikey almost bragging
about doing so...even with the protestations and denials of Jeffrey
Herman who also had P.O.Box 8282, Honolulu. Coincidence? NO!

My callsign area is "6" on the mainland, arrived at by the FCC
sequential callsign system, HONESTLY. I've lived AT my postal
address for 43 years, 11 months. "Ego?" No. I believe in
following both the letter and the spirit of the law.
