When I decided to get a #hamradio vanity callsign, my first inclination was to get a 2x1 or 1x2 so it was as short as possible. Then I thought about a local FM radio station here in Carmel, CA named KRML.

I obviously couldn't have that as a call sign, but I was able to get KR4ML (K4RML is taken). It's still relatively short and seems kind of fitting.

I found one of KRML’s old logos and recreated it with a slight modification. I guess there is a new t-shirt in my future

I wanted to honor my father's memory using our initials but all combinations were taken at the time, specifically w7ajr. Ended up with my daughter's and my first initials w7sjb. 6 months later w7ajr became available. 🫤 I stuck with w7sjb. Still not sure if I should have switched or should switch again. 1x2 or 2x1 would be sweet though.
