That's my new call sign since earning my amateur radio license. If all goes well, the radio goes in today.

Anyway, I thought it might be helpful to start a running "call sheet" of members who are licensed radio operators and their call signs.

So, who is out there? Speak up!

Yes you can&#33; You&#39;ll have to take your test and get the &#39;next in line&#39; call sign like ZooKeeper did. Then you file you paperwork to acquire the old call sign IF it has not been taken by someone else. Call that are unused for XX number of years are free for the taking by anyone. In the Amatuer radio world, call signs that result in short &#39;morse code&#39; are highly desirable. Let me go take a quick look to see if the sign is in use today.

Looks like someone has it right now. His call sign expires in 2008 so he got it in 1998. If your interested, you might want to contact him in the future and see if he would surender the call to you due to your relationship with the call.

Jim, I have a dumb question. This call sign (K8KLR) is still under my grandfather&#39;s name. As stated, he is deceased. I&#39;m actually kind of freaked out by this, as he passed in May of that year (1998). Given this info, can this be "transferred" over to me, via the paperwork. I could provide "proof" of this instance if need be. Thank you in advance Jim.
