vanity call signs
I think they should only issue vanity call signs to General class licensees
and above. There are too many new Techs using up all the good vanity call signs available, only to go off the air after a few months and effectively taking the call sign out of the available pool for the next 12 years. I think it would also be an incentive to upgrade..... Just my opinion.http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Ham-Radio-Unplugged/ |

vanity call signs
You snooze...you lose. That's like saying that only people with Class 'B'
and above Commercial Drivers Licenses should be able to get vanity plates for their vehicle. Generals and above had the same, if not more, time to snag the call they wanted.

vanity call signs
I think that we need to stop whining and start DXing.
My 2 cents "wy0ohg143" wrote in message news "Hamguy" wrote in message ... You snooze...you lose. That's like saying that only people with Class 'B' and above Commercial Drivers Licenses should be able to get vanity plates for their vehicle. Generals and above had the same, if not more, time to snag the call they wanted. No, it's not like saying that at all, otherwise we would then all be able to have 2x2, or 1x2, or 2x1 call signs like the Extra and Advanced class hams. Plus, the vanity plates on cars are not tied up for 12 years if the person doesn't use their car, and the available call signs are in much more limited amounts than license plates. So maybe they should let the techs only have 2x3's vanity calls then. |
