Wahoooo! My application for a new call sign, W1JKS (jks are my initials), was granted — showed up in the FCC database over night.
Now I have to get used to saying “Whiskey One Juliett Kilo(watt) Sierra” instead of “Alpha Bravo One Hotel Juliett”. I also have a few other bits of administrivia to deal with…
- Insert an entry in the log
- Inform Region 1 QSL Bureau of the change
- Adjust my arrl.net email forward
- Update (or create new) account on QRZ.com
- I should also touch base with W1VG (Peter in CT) ex. W1JKS to let him know I have his old call.
- Post new license in my shack when it arrives
73, W1JKS (ex. AB1HJ)
