The funny thing is, there's at least two services (run by hams) on the web, who will 'do all the work for you" in applying for a vanity call. But it's not that hard to do on the FCC website (of course you first have to FIND the correct webpage) if you already have a FCC Registration Number (FRN). So I paid the $12.50, and get a chuckle out of the services offered on the web for $35 to do the same thing.
I thought this call was a nice touch.

Besides the obvious abbreviation for the state name, kinda reminds me of Noah's ark.
My original call was neat (KC2 Jolly Mean Giant), which I got in upstate NY, but I thought the callsign number should match the area (call me old fashioned).
Now I have to go do my General test sometime... the VE's told me to do it the same evening I took the Tech test (since I aced the Tech, and they told me the General was "easy too"... their words, not mine!

) but I didn't have the extra time to sit thru another test session... wish I would have.
Now as a footnote, the last holder of this vanity call was a ham club at a school in Little Rock... so, we can conclude that youngsters are more interested in surfing the web and texting, than ham radio, since they let that license expire and never bothered to renew it. :sad:
