What would your vanity call sign be? Or if you have one why, what is the meaning?

While search the ULS to see if a friend of mine had received his call sign, in the last week there were 3 interesting vanity signs issued in Oklahoma..

K0OHM (Ohm's law... I get it, not a bad call)
N5KKK - Really? Not sure I would want that one. :rolleyes:
W5SEX - :bacondance: and it's licensed to a female. :woot:

What are some that you have seen...?

I may have already shared this with you but...

My call was N5FNH and you may see my ARO call sign license plates in my Jeep pictures. I changed my call over a year ago to WB5ZDD. My original call was WN5ZDD as a novice, then it changed to WB5ZDD after upgrading. During my next upgrade I decided to roll the dice and get a new call. That was the N5FNH. Looking back I decided my original call told more about how long I've been a ham.

Hams will select call signs that are easily understood when they are said, or easy to copy in Morse code for contesting.

I don't contest, so I just wanted my original call back. Hmm now that I think about it, I wonder if I could have requested the WN5ZDD call.

I'm Willy-Baker-5-Zebra's-Don't-Do (it)

The old call was November-5-Fried-Nose-Hairs :D

Ha! I love using the phonetic alphabet. I did security a long time ago and was calling in a plate to dispatch when I couldn't think of "Victor" for "V".... so over the radio I said "Viagra"! It was the only V that came to mind!! Everybody razzed me for a long time after that lol
