I just received my call sign today (Technician). I remember one of the possible questions for the exam pertained to vanity call signs.
So I'm on the FCC website looking at what it takes to get a vanity.
It appears I can't just get any letters at the beginning. There are only a few letters available and it depends on your location.
I'm in zone 4. So K, N, or W at the beginning of my call sign. KN is currently my first two letters. So I'm assuming I have to stay with KN ...or maybe a W in there somewhere??
Says three letters in suffix.
As with most everyone I have one number.
KN4MFU
So my questions : I have to keep the number 4 but can change the last three letters, And the first two letters need to remain KN, ... KW,... NW,... WN,....WK?
