Vanity Call question ?
« on: June 29, 2019, 03:15:21 PM »

The call I have now expires October 20-2019  There is a vanity call I want available on October 24-2019  only 4 days later there is a list of people who want this call and I am at the top of that list.  What should I do here ? can I apply a few days early for the new vanity call or must I renew my old call and then apply for the vanity call a few days later ?  Bob

i would just renew your callsign in late July or some time in August so that your expiration date cant interfere with any applications you have in process during October.  Renewal is free and you can do it up to 90 days prior to your expiration date. 

The only list of people who want the callsign you desire that will matter are those who file a valid application for it on the first day it becomes available -- therefore, i highly recommend that you visit: www.ae7q.com
and read the application notes and the explanatory notes there to familiarize yourself with all the dos and donts of obtaining a vanity callsign.   ;)

note too, that if the end date for the call in question is: 10-24-2019 then the first day to file a valid application for it will be 10-25-2019.

I agree with N9FB

Renew your current call before it expires THEN apply for the other call the first day it becomes available and NOT before
