That Tak-Tenna looks neat.

In an earlier post You mention Your GMRS  Callsign.
It made me think of my old secondary license call WA9WSB.

I wanted to keep my original KY call,and did until no one in my. Family lived
in the QTH anymore.
I learned I could trade in the K4ZIQ call for a One by Three 9 Land call and
was issued W9ODR.
Got a W call instead of a K call issued to me.

Later I learned that The Friendly Country Cousin was allowing Hams to use their
Callsign when they moved into a different Area. (after sending a 610 to them
about the change of address.

Now I wish thatI had kept my original Call Sign I was issued as a Novice.
The Hams around my area know me as K 4 Zero Intelligence Quotentient.
