  First, congratulations. Now, the rest of us jokers (hi hi), will get
alternate phonetics for you!! I'm going to have to think about this one.
Keep Searching For The Datafiles, perhaps??

  I went through a similar deal when I changed from:

1) N5VLZ (original callsign) to AE5WX
2) AE5WX to WX1DER
3) WX1DER to WX4QZ

  Unfortunately, I had to pay a fee for the AE5WX and WX1DER callsigns,
but there was no fee for WX4QZ. The bad part is that refunds are not
available...that's the government for you.

  And, I'm not changing this one again (I know, I never thought I'd
change any of the others). But, after getting burned out on weather
after 28 years in ham radio (and the ignorance of so many who should
know better), I changed the emphasis to trains and railroads. But, the
suffix is "QRZ without the R" -- in my case, R stands for "Radio", since
I operate "internet only". But, at least my ham radio license isn't just
"a sheet of paper".

Daryl, WX4QZ
