Post by: LupinOne on March 26, 2015, 03:05:00 AM: Hey, those FT-897s can be found on qrz.com and a couple other ham gear swap meet sites. I've seen them for a lot less than retail. :) I could even help you with a dipole for multi band work. Oh... and also be a VE for your test... :P

I see a nice package right now on QRZ for 690.

Post by: RBduffer on March 28, 2015, 03:47:19 PM: OK, Everybody's thinking it, so I'm just going to say it.

KK6SZJ is the best excuse for a custom call sign.

It just simply dosen't roll off the tongue, In fact it kinda hurts to say it out loud.

Kilo Kilo Six Sierra Zulu Juliet helps a little, so you better get that General ticket soon :-*

If you want to take it further...

Title: Re: Who's a new HAM???
Post by: Motorpig77 on March 28, 2015, 06:29:58 PM: Jordan, please tell how... Because I'm in total agreement with Randy, It doesn't roll off the tongue well at all. Phew!!! Glad I'm not the only one who thought this!!!

Post by: steve c on March 28, 2015, 08:04:14 PM: Congrats from KK6OFL!

I thought my callsign was strange, until K6XTE pointed out that it truly fits my personality.

I still may change mine. I want a shorty like Jordan.
