Which callsign DO you want?

The FCC is asking a New York ham why he has filed over a
dozen call sign change requests with the agency in the past four years.

Since August 29, 2000, Kiyoshi Nakamura of Buffalo has
held the call signs K3DJ, KJ6UZ, AD1L, K3DJ again, KH6DJ, AD1L again, K3DJ for a third time, AD2R, AD1L for a third time , AD2R, WH7S, AD1L for a fourth time and AD2R for a second time.

Then again he wants to give up AD2R and get back to K3DJ
for the fourth time.

In its letter to Nakamura, the FCC says that his numerous
call sign change applications raise questions about apparent abuse of the licensing system. This says the FCC that with limited exceptions, each call sign would be blocked by Commission rules from being reassigned to another licensee for two years.

So, the FCC gave Nakamura 20 days from the date of its
inquiry letter to respond. He was told to state his intentions regarding the filing of these applications. He was also told to choose one and only one call sign that he actually wants to keep.

Maybe he should choose *.*!
