Mike is correct, but there are certain restricted identifiers /AE /AA
/MM /R etc. for specific purposes. Otherwise, you can add what you please.
Note: For those with several homes does that 'proposal' require several
different calls or a monthly call sign change? <grin>

--Quoting "Michael Haack, WB9B" <mikehaack@aol.com>:
Why are we trying to fix something that's not broken?
As per Part 97: Section 97.119 (c ) While not required, it is
perfectly permissible for a station to add a designator to his/her
callsign to indicate a district they are operating from, Say WB9B/7.
If you want to change the contest rules to state that a station will
add such to their call during said contest, go right ahead.

It is an argument that has come up many, many times since the FCC
changed the rules in 1978. But the answer to your question is no.
1978 and prior you could sign K0RC/# where # is the call district
you move to. In theory if the FCC reverted to the previous rules
you could again sign K0RC/#. The move back to the previous rules
would generate a huge administrative problem for the FCC. Even if
you could talk those of us in different call districts to request
new call signs consistent with the call districts it could be a
huge administrative problem and not all would do the change without
an FCC directive (highly unlikely).

So basically what you're saying is if I want to keep my call sign, the
FCC has locked me out of moving to another district?

Thank you Ken, VE3HLS, for a perfectly well thought out method of
assigning US call signs. I agree 100%.
"Simple.? Stick with what you had.
You report any moves to another call district, just like you do
with your drivers license when you move to a new state, right??
The FCC issues you with a call for the new call district.? If it's
possible to keep your call and just change the number, then
perfect.? If not, you get a new call.? If you simply _must_ have a
vanity call then you get a vanity call that corresponds to your
call district (see above).? If there isn't one that you like then,
well, tough."
I suppose it is too logical for the FCC to implement, or does that
vanity call fee mean that much to them?
