After much thought I decided to switch up my call sign.  I didn’t originally plan to as there was some appeal to hanging on to my original call sign, plus the knowledge no one has ever had this call before.

I started looking at options and settled on W0JLT.  I get to drop a letter, my initials are in the call, and no one has ever had W0JLT before.  Ironically however, when using phonetics it is the same number of syllables as KD0ZLG.

I highly recommend AE7Q’s website as it walks through what the process is and also lists vanity call sign applications.  There is even a predictor to determine the likelyhood of you receiveing the call you applied for.  This is very helpful as the FCC application process is very drawn out.  I applied on 10/30/2017 and the change is just effective today.
