Re: <<hams Check-in Here>>

KE7JDE / IZ2GMV (Just moved to California from Italy).
By the way, I had an address in WA that is why "KE7". Now that I am in California, should I request an updated callsign? I still have to register my car here, I've heard I can request a ham radio personalized plate?

Hi manoweb -
You can request a new callsign if you want to. In the old days when you moved from one callsign district (Wa - 7) to a different district (Ca - 6) you would receive a new callsign with the appropriate designation. The rules changed some years back and now you can keep your call wherever you move in the US. If you want other hams to know your geographic location by your call then update to a 6 callsign. If you like your current 7 call then you can keep it.
You can get a personalized or vanity plate from the DMV upon proof of license. In Oregon I have seen plates with callsigns outside the 7 district. I would assume Ca. would allow the same.
