Patrick,

The Magic Duck flies down to you! You get the prize. The prize committee 
[if we form one] will meet to decide what your award will be. In the 
meantime, I would suggest you vacate your premises temporarily in case 
the prize committee does meet and award your prize! Likely a cow-pie.

You quote WPMD956 (and I studious avoid the "errant" hyphen between "D" 
and "9" as spurious), and that's what I was looking for. Now the 
original question ought to have been, UPON WHAT IS THAT CALLSIGN BASED?

Is it based on a FCC license or on something someone contrived?

My Daddy was stationed at the old Long Beach Naval Station. He was a 
Pharmacist Mate*. So I was born in Wilshire Hospital rather than in a 
normal place like s.w. Indiana. Born a Californian rather than a Hoosier 
or a Kentuckian!

*Pharmacist Mate has long since been incorporated in the Hospital 
Corpsman enlisted specialization, although I believe it still exists in 
the US Coast Guard.
