And not one necessarily into Amature Radio. There are many HAM's on the forum.

Thats the way it should be. Well done.

Actually, KC7GR is not my first call. For 20+ years, I was WD6EOS (probably been reassigned by now). I got my 2x2 call as a 'vanity' thing when I passed the exam for my Amateur Extra class license.
Keep the peace(es).
