My dad was into that big time. He had a 5,000 watt amplifier and a huge entenna (really huge). His call was W6ZA. Once the internet became popular he quit using it. With IM's you can talk to anyone any time.

I let my license expire last year. It was cool when I was in high school, but having made the mistake of using my callsign all over the net in my youth, my address floating around out there was a liability. Kind of sad, since I have my dualband HT, KPC-3+ packet modem, some homebrew Yagis, and a piles of QSL cards sitting around.
9mm - because they don't make a 9.1mm
exactly why I'm not posting my callsign here. I was involved in a local radio club here in denver for many years, callsign got plastered everywhere... easy to find you with that callsign. So I've tried to get it killed as many places on the net as possible... still floating around out there, very frustrating.
you probably can still renew your callsign even though it has expired, look up the FCC ULS website and try to renew it... keep it alive, you might need it.
So does your call sign directly lead to you or something?

Been licensed since 1997. General class operator, I'll upgrade to Extra one of these days. I have the dual band rig installed in the SUV and turn it on every once in a while but I don't really know anyone out there anymore. I moved around so much that I don't have ties to the local base here, although I have lived here for almost 8 years now.
I never did set up my HF station at home and everything is in boxes at home, maybe one of these days when I retire I will break it all out and get back into it.

N7### here. Decent setup of 2m, 70cm and HF. Big into NVIS.
The callsign must be registered to the persons Address. PO Box isn't an option. So, this is why I haven't posted my callsign... if you put it into google you'll find all kinds of stuff about me... long/lat of my house, gps coords of my house, my address, etc...
another reason why I don't put it on my automotive license plate anymore either... it says "this is who I am and where you can find me...."
