Well, I passed the Tech test last weekend, and just got my callsign today: KJ6HBV!

New Callsign..

Since I upgraded to Extra last month I applied for my vanity callsign and received it last week. KB1TQL is now AE1NH

Congrats Alan for passing the Extra!

How long did you have to wait for your vanity call sign? I applied on April 8th and still waiting.

David, it took a little over a month for me to get mine. It was actually pretty painless. The only downside for me is my original call had enough time to stick in my head before the new one came along.

Hello Guys. I'd like to throw a thought in here to see your thoughts and reactions about it.

I have been thinking about it for a while and I would like to make something positive with this. I believe this user callsign database that is forming here is an excellent resource for a lot of different applications like EComms (Emergency Communications). I would like to hear your opinions on how (if at all possible) to put this list to good use.

It is not my intention in any way to Hi-jack the thread. Just to keep it alive and gauge the possibility of making something useful out of it.

All ideas are welcome. What do you think?

I would do it like we had the Cruiser Assistance Club on ih8mud years ago. Voluntary, very personal information (work/home/cell #s, addresses), what you could offer in assistance (shop, bed for the night, tools..), your vehicles and your level of expertise. Like I said it was completely voluntary and you had to be willing to give a great amount of personal detail but you always had a list while you were travelling of help or resources along the way.

It grew to the point of encompassing the globe. Not sure what killed it.

Just a db of callsigns doesn't really do much, and I have an app on the Droid of the ARRL db.

IMO to make it a real thing and keep commercial interests out, it would be a secured site that allowed individuals to create and edit their own entries, and export a printable list (or pdf, spreadsheet, etc).
