    K1MAN

    Just to name a few. Will they ever be recycled or will they be permanently placed on a 'Do Not Issue' list?
    I worked a call very close to K1MAN (Can't recall the exact callsign), and the operator (On PSK) thought it funny every called him "Glen" lol.

    Not sure why they did that, maybe they forsaw I would have an excellent Amateur Career and needed a good call! I don't know if WN6MHZ never upgraded or what. But they sent me this so I said, FINE! I will take it! (NOT A VANITY!)
    They just knew that you were old enough for the older callsign.
