But seriously, congrats Josh.

At least it'll be easy to remember

Josh, you can always apply for a vanity call sign, like Unionjack (Jon) did.

Can I join your list of members with Amateur call signs.

You never know we may make a HF or VHF/UHF IRLP nodes QSO over the pacific while traveling mobile around our own country's

I'm a planning the big lap around the coast of Australia (anti-clockwise) to get the benefit of the trade winds behind the van to save fuel .

I am in the process of fitting a Yaesu FT-857D into the vehicle as repeaters are few and far between away from the east coast and the major city's. Using 2m / 70cm when within range and HF when not.

My call sign cleared today! KJ6VRD

How long does it usually take for a vanity to show up? I applied for K6LIQ

[MCL68]

Congrats. I'll update the callsign roster later.

Congrats Steve, when I applied for mine it took almost 3 weeks for it to show up in the data base.

What radio do you have/planning on having?

And there are a few that have not posted in this thread, so the list should be even longer.

That's ok. If they dont want their callsigns displayed on the forum, theres no problem.

Vanity cleared KJ6VRD will now forever be known by K6LIQ.

Jon I got a "mystery discount" coupon for ham radio outlet. they said come back in may for up to 20% off, so im going to stop by in the next few days and pickup a 350AR. my ultimate goal is to have 2 brains and keep one inside to play with and one in the truck. that way I can just bring the faceplate around with me.

Congrats on the vanity call Steve. You'll love the 350AR, it's an excellent unit. Also, you may want to check with HRO or another HAM equipment dealer as far as buying a seperate main body to run 2 rigs. Not sure if anyone will just sell you a main body by it self.

Congrats on the call, so it was almost three weeks, same as I had to wait.

Unfortunately I think Mark may be right. I recall a story of some one having their faceplate stolen form their vehicle from a FT7900 and he was unable to get just that piece from Yaesu.

With 20% off, hell, get a 350AR for the truck and a 857D for home and explore HF.

Done!

I think I am the newest HAM to 120. Passed my test today the 25th. Pretty simple with all the practice tests I have been taking and a bit of HAMcram. Now just need to wait for the call sign.
