Mr. Vesnaver requested reconsideration of the grant of W6VM to Steven C. Greathouse, on the grounds that Mr. Greathouse, a resident of OH, should not have been granted a 6th district call.

When the Commission adopted the rules for the vanity call sign system, it addressed whether a vanity call sign applicant should be limited to requesting call signs for the region where the licensee resides. The Commission did not adopt such a restriction...

So, they're not reconsidering the matter, and it's tough luck, bubby.

That's my friend Steve (ex-AC6EA) who wanted an 8-area vanity call...was not granted it after repeated attempts...then finally got lucky with his current one.

Mr. Vesnaver is hereby and most cordially invited to go fuck himself.

By the way: Steve is an Island member.

At the risk of sounding like a huge hypocrite (on this issue) I think we should return to call district discipline AFTER realigning the districts. The only one that should be left alone in the 6th district, the other boundaries need to be changed. The 4th district is WAY too big and 3rd and 8th are too small.

The call sign districts are based on 30's population trends, so they are all askew.

Just sayin'

I hold a my current vanity call for good personal reasons.
I'm happy that it's correct for the old school call districts.

If I moved elsewhere, I'd be conflicted, and might want it changed.
However with online call lookup, it's less of an issue these days.

Apparently, someone doesn't know the rules. Moran.... :roll:

[PA5COR]

We can pick our own calls just PD is reserved for the Novice licenses.
PA PB PC PE including number and suffix all free, so i picked the PA5COR call, because it was he first PA with a number free with COR as suffix.
PA0 PA1 PA2 etc all already given out.
Chance of call can be done online, and cost nothing, you will get the paperwork in weeks.

You might have a point...and let's go a step farther towards making Extra-class calls available to everybody by severely clamping down on the call-swappers and club-reserved blocks. To the degree that if they hoard excessively they lose their tickets - and perhaps their charter.

One club; one call. Period.

[KJ3N]

I have 2 calls. One for me, another for contesting (club call).

Am I hoarding? :chin:

No, but the folks who were blocking off 10+ most certainly are guilty.
