It's official... We filed for, and finally received, our OAUSA Club Call Sign. THe call sign we were issued is KI6ZQL. Now it's time to file for a vanity call sign that more suits us.
EDIT: Call sign is now K6OAU.

Any group function where we had a central communications setup.

Gyood Gyawd! Is there any chance of getting that thing shortened before Field Day? I didn't realize this before. That's not a callsign...that's a paragragh.

Wonder if something like K6OA might be available...

Taken. N6OA, W6OA, K6OAA, N6OAA, W6OAA were taken as well. It appears these will be taken for quite sometime.
I played with a few other combos as well......nada. Oddly, K6OUS, W6OUS and N6OUS are in the clear.....for the moment. Not a bad ring to them... Kilo-Six-Oscar- Uniform-Sierra or Norway-Six-Oscar-United-Sugar.......the CW weighting isn't bad either. Although it is abbreviated to OUS....Outdoor United States.....Too bad, I looked into the other holders of these callsigns and anything OA (Outdoor Adventure) is a slim chance for the next 10 years.

I was looking at a good vanity as soon as we were issued our call sign and had the same results Randy. I finally gave up... If someone comes up with something that's open let me know and I'll apply.
