Looks like they are getting near the end of AA4AA-AL4ZZ. Will they go
with KA4AA-KZ4ZZ and NA4AA-NZ4ZZ and WA4AA-WZ4ZZ next?

IOW, don't put much hope, especially in 4, of getting a cool call from
the sequential draw, when you upgrade. Just keep your old call and try
to see what you can get through the vanity program. Or just keep your
