    I can't complain about others changing their callsigns. I was originally N5VLZ in 1991...changing to AE5WX in 2009, to WX1DER in 2012...and to
    WX4QZ in 2019. The latter is to renew when I turn 69...and we'll save any
    jokes about that for The Fertilizer Net (hi hi).

    Oh err Missus :) The next callsign change will be the big one. Still going through the manuals and banging my head off a brick wall at times

    At least I'm not some hams, who seem to change it as often as they change their underwear. Well, in the US, once the $35 fee for a callsign change for
    a sequential or vanity callsign...never mind a new, renewed, or upgraded ham radio license takes effect, that will put a damper on folks doing that. Besides, they'll need that money to buy ham radio gear.

    A ham radio operator's worst nightmare, is that his spouse or significant other will sell his ham radio gear for what he told her he paid for them
    (hi hi).

    It is nealry impossible to get a vanity callsign in Ireland. They issue them on a purely order. There is no other way unless you want to wait.
