You know I have given this same idea some
thought. Maybe after 51 years
as a WA1 I better think hard on this idea? Longevity
even with a long call
has it's advantages.

When I was converted from WN4AFP to WB4AFP, I remember hearing another
non-novice on the bands and his callsign was WN4KKN (Trey) from Alabama. I
thought that it would be cool to have the WN4 callsign. In 2006, I
requested my old callsign in the vanity program. Probably will keep it for
a long time..

For the record, the 1976-1977 “gate” system of 1x2 callsigns for Extra
Class licensees was adopted by the FCC pursuant to Docket #20092, and is
described in detail in the “Washington Mailbox” column on p. 51 of June,
1976 QST (probably other QST appearances as well). My own Extra license
dates to March, 1970, so I was in the third gate, and I got my second
pick. Although some K2 calls in the 1x2 format had been issued a few
decades earlier, they would have all (or almost all) been sequential and
near the front of the alphabet, so I’m pretty sure I’m the only person
ever
to hold K2WR.
