Tangentially related but one would think the FCC would reject or censor certain vanity callsigns, including certain ones beginning with the letter 'n' and ones with a triple repetition of certain letter associated with a certain group... but apparently the FCC does not. Yikes.
@KC8JC@N0ZB@tsherrygeo@Geojoek My original call ended with "FUT" and they did not issue "FUK", "FUC", or "FUQ", but it was so close I had to always put my call out in phonetics,. .
Youngest daughter's call is KF0GNS - which we pronounce as "Kay-Fogins" ... sounds like a possible relative of Bilbo Baggins, but also reminds me of the old San Francisco radio station KFOG.
The suffix of my first call was PJQ, and I was given the moniker "PaJama Queen" when checking into the local repeater's evening social net. PJQ would have been pretty tough to keep for Morse code.
@bud_t@N0ZB@KC8JC@tsherrygeo@Geojoek Looks like there is someone with the call N0OB (don't know them, but find that amusing). Not a new ham, though, ha ha.
@KD9ZHF@tsherrygeo@N0ZB@KC8JC@Geojoek The weight is not as important as the lack of confusing characters in a call. KB6 or WB6 always throws me off because B and "6" are so close. Usually have to listen or ask twice on that.
