     First, congratulations. Now, the rest of us jokers (hi hi), will get   
   alternate phonetics for you!! I'm going to have to think about this one.   
   Keep Searching For The Datafiles, perhaps??

     I went through a similar deal when I changed from:   
      
   1) N5VLZ (original callsign) to AE5WX   
   2) AE5WX to WX1DER   
   3) WX1DER to WX4QZ   
      
     Unfortunately, I had to pay a fee for the AE5WX and WX1DER callsigns,   
   but there was no fee for WX4QZ. The bad part is that refunds are not   
   available...that's the government for you.   
      
     And, I'm not changing this one again (I know, I never thought I'd   
   change any of the others). But, after getting burned out on weather   
   after 28 years in ham radio (and the ignorance of so many who should   
   know better), I changed the emphasis to trains and railroads. But, the   
   suffix is "QRZ without the R" -- in my case, R stands for "Radio", since   
   I operate "internet only". But, at least my ham radio license isn't just   
   "a sheet of paper".   
      
   Daryl, WX4QZ   
      
   ... I CQ. Therefore, I HAM. -- DE WX4QZ
