Done, correctly I think.

We know you've contacts, it's where they are that could be the problem.

The callsigns were rolled out here in order, I was in the 7s, then they did 8s, the original G (GM for Scotland) is now a M (MM for here), Full calls use MØ, M1, intermediate use 2E but up here it is 2M, 2I for NI, 2W etc etc, instead of one letter for the Channel Isles it is U for Guernsey and J for Jersey, IOM is D..
The problem with US calls is, they were originally, a number per section of the country but as folk move plus they do vanity calls now..
Each call is unique...but get confusing with vanity calls as they change every few years due to having to reapply.
Don't start me on locators:laugh:
anyway, ER1 and chasing a J68

Vanity Calls for no fixed addresses, such as annual concerts. Same place could have a different call sign next year.

Moldova, and chasing a St. Lucia.

I'm surprised we haven't gone down that line.
You can if you are a new call, choose 3 letter combination if you are available but not guaranteed if you go up the grades, I could have changed to a MM but preferred my original GM7, which was a class B but am now a Full. The morse requirement got dropped, I was learning it in 1989 and could do 14-15 WPM which would have given me a pass but I had other stuff going on life so...

No St Lucia, one day..
another one for you, TX, MN, IA not calls, what?^_^
