Just use a number that has some sort of meaning to you personally, like my number came from the 70's when it was common "714" Then I joined the World Radio Club and was able to make certain contact around the world, now I have become officially "World Radio 714" actually someone in California had already taken those numbers so really I am officially "2WR-714NY" but I prefer the other one and rarely do I hear the original from California.
