Good luck with CW.. -.- .--- --... --.- --.- --.- Also, your callsign is public information, which will return with your address. So, if you get a license, use a PO box, or a different address, otherwise people will know where you live.

Most people choose something that means something to them. Could be your initials, for example. I missed out on N1CAD (as in, the battery chemistry) by a couple days, as someone applied for it before I did.. Once you look it up and see it's not taken, you can log into FCC ULS and file a modification, and request a vanity callsign. It takes a couple weeks and is automatically granted provided you follow the rules and it's not already in use or restricted. https://www.fcc.gov/wireless/bureau-divisions/mobility-division/amateur-radio-service/amateur-call-sign-systems#sequential-call-sign-systemIt's currently free, but they're talking about establishing a fee for it... So....

So.... so where exactly in the clusterfuckery of FCC's website does one apply for vanity call sign? i couldn't figure it out for shit... ETA: nevermind, i found it https://wireless2.fcc.gov/UlsEntry/licManager/login.jsp and then on the right hand side there is a "request vanity call sign" link
