As one of those hams who jumped at the chance to secure an Extra-Class call sign, I wanted a call that "meant something". Seeing as how I sent my wife to New Zealand for 10 days (resulting in a vacation for both of us!!), coupled with needing buy-in for my "geeky hobby", I decided to take the political path. Thus, I opted for NZ4U (a play on "New Zealand for you") as a constant reminder that I sent her there in the first place!!
Antenna
As of this moment, I'm neither radiating nor receiving. Having moved into a new house in a neighborhood chock full-o-CCR's, I've yet to take any steps to put up any antennae. However, I'm seriously considering putting up an SG-230-based delta loop in the trees behind the house soon and get back on the air.
