After completion of an Amateur radio test (and pass) The FCC (Federal Communication Commission) assigns the call sign. Now the prefix letter is or was a designator of classification.
Novice = K 2x3
Technician = N 1x3
General and Advance = W 1x3 2x3
Extra class = A 2x1
My call is a 2x3 "KC4UMO"
The number is the call district.
I may be wrong on a couple of those. Been a while.
My Call starts with K. However It was the first call I got and never changed with the upgrades.
BTW, good to see you.
