After a discussion on the reflector, we applied for a club call, KAØOCR was issued on on 09-23-2003. I was hoping for KAØSOC, but it wasn't to be. Then we started a search for a proper vanity call for our unique club. It needed to be appropriate and of course vary SOC. After a week or so and with the help of the Vanity Call Sign HQ we had generated a list of calls, pretty much every call that ended in SOC no matter what the prefix or call area, and held a vote, via reflector, to determine the order they would be listed on the vanity application. The application was filed and on 01-22-2003 we were issued WØSOC. I thought it would be cool to have SOC club calls for other areas of the US also. Unfortunately, there were no other WxSOC calls available except for W1SOC. But being a former W1 (WN1GIV and W1GIV) and SOC #1, W1SOC seemed quite appropriate. So the application for a second Second Class Operators Club call was made, and on 09-20-2006 we were issued KI4RGX. A vanity call application was quickly submitted, and on 10-13-2006 the W1SOC license was issued. A W1SOC qsl - Bob N4BP Trustee. Drop me an e-mail to use the call for any Second (or First) Class event or if you just want to use it for a week or a weekend. There are only Four(4) Rules:
| Frank applied for and received K6SOC in 2013. Violet applied for and received trusteeship for W5SOC in 2013. Claude applied for and received TMØSOC in 2019. Dave applied for and received K1SOC in 2019. If you have any questions or comments, please contact:
