When I was licensed in the mid '70's, there were no vanity calls. Real old 
timers had KnXX or WnXX; slightly less old folks had KnXXX or WnXXX, and 
recently licensed hams were all WAnXXX or WBnXXX (except for Novice 
licensees, who were all WNnXXX).

I wondered how the Boy Scouts managed to get K2BSA, because there was no 
provision in the Rules at the time for call signs to be assigned other 
than sequentially.
