VK callsign rules have changed to allow our Foundation license holders to now get a 3 letter call the same as any other VK ham. This was partly because the previous 4 letter suffix didn't work with some digital mode software the Foundation licensees can now access in a previous update of the rules.
All VK hams can now keep their callsigns when upgrading from Foundation to Standard to Advanced, instead of having to have had a different callsign as before.
Also, the State identifier eg 3, 5, 7 etc after the VK will only be issued to new license holders, those that move interstate will no longer have to get a State specific callsign.
