I was reincarnated as W7ZP on July 7, 2015; my previous call was KM4ITT . The vanity 1×2 and 2×1 signs for the “4” area(domiciled in East Tennessee) were hard to come by so I went with this one. It has a nice ring to it and sounds good in CW(so I am told).  Many thanks to K0OO and K6ZO for encouraging me to do this and helping me pick one with communicative qualities. AE7Q’s call sign lookup and application tracking tools were a huge help and proof that most problems have a clever solution somewhere out there.

As for the “7” and being from the “4” area,  I don’t think provincialism has done much for humankind. Now is the time to declare myself a citizen of the world.
