New Callsign... WG3K

Tue 14 July 2015

In Radio.

In 1997 I received my first amateur radio license.  The FCC granted me KF4OTN back then and exercised it the best I could.  Fast forward to my move to Virginia and I decided to drop the "KF" in favor of "W" (it cut down on the time to transmit the callsign on RTTY).  Now that I'm in Maryland, and an Extra, I decided it was the right time to change my callsign, perhaps for the last time.

As of 3:39 AM this morning I am now WG3K.  It's a mouthful but sounds nice on CW.  Here's hoping I don't butcher it too badly for the next few days.
