Whiskey Zero?

What's in a name?

Good question. I've had a KC8 call since I got my license. 8 being the region code for Michigan. I've kept it thus far because it was my first license and I've used that call for a while now. But... time has passed and Missouri is home now. So I decided when (notice I said when) I update to General I'll take a Zero call.

(As a side note, I'm not giving my full callsign because having that allows readers to gather a great deal of info on the holder of that callsign, and this is a public blog. It's a privacy thing. If you're interested in knowing the "real me", email and I'll be happy to share)

I'm planning, after my upgrade, to get a vanity call. As a general I'll only be elegible for a C or D group call. 2X3 or 1X3. Which is ok with me really. some of the 2X1 calls are just a little strange to my ear. I'll be happy with a 1X3. (this is all suffering to the number of letters before an affter the region number, by the way).  I like the idea of having a Whiskey Zero call, though what 3 letters I'll pick for the suffix I'm still pondering.
