The idea of allocating vanity calls would be another great step forward.
There would of course be a cost implication but I am sure those of us vain
enough to want a special call would happily cough up. I certainly would.

The recent round of new licensing initiatives have been great for the hobby.
More interest, more activity and even some young blood coming through!
Those responsible are to be congratulated and encouraged as I believe we all
benefit from this upsurge in interest.
