    SD> As of today, I am now KS4TD (my initals are STD; no, not being funny).   
    SD> The FCC public database is lagging so while I have my license, it   
    SD> probably won't be until Wednesday of next week before my new call shows   
    SD> up.   
      
   I have had serval calls $60/change I changed due to province living in.   
      
      
    DS>   First, congratulations. Now, the rest of us jokers (hi hi), will get   
    DS> alternate phonetics for you!! I'm going to have to think about this   
    DS> one. Keep Searching For The Datafiles, perhaps??    
      
    SD> What's really frustrating is that I am trying to update all of the   
    SD> services I use (qth.com, Echolink, et al.) and they won't do anything   
    SD> until the database updates ...   
      
    DS>   I went through a similar deal when I changed from:   
      
    DS> 1) N5VLZ (original callsign) to AE5WX   
    DS> 2) AE5WX to WX1DER   
    DS> 3) WX1DER to WX4QZ   
      
   I was, VE2DDH,VE3LVQ,VE8XU,VY0XU,VY2WU,VY2XU. how about them apples?   
      
      
    DS>   Unfortunately, I had to pay a fee for the AE5WX and WX1DER callsigns,   
    DS> but there was no fee for WX4QZ. The bad part is that refunds are not   
    DS> available...that's the government for you.   
      
    DS>   And, I'm not changing this one again (I know, I never thought I'd   
    DS> change any of the others). But, after getting burned out on weather   
    DS> after 28 years in ham radio (and the ignorance of so many who should   
    DS> know better), I changed the emphasis to trains and railroads. But, the   
    DS> suffix is "QRZ without the R" -- in my case, R stands for "Radio",   
    DS> since I operate "internet only". But, at least my ham radio license   
    DS> isn't just "a sheet of paper".   
      
   I don't think I will be leaving PEI any time soon.
