N2VHZ is the United States Amateur Radio call sign issued to Kenneth C. Weindl by the Federal Communications Commission. It is an "Amateur Extra" class of license which conveys that all priviledges of the United States and international Amateur radio are enjoyed. It was randomly issued when the applicant first applied for an Amateur license as after passing the "Technician" level test. The applicant continues to maintain the call sign of N2VHZ, even after sucsessfully passing the "Technician Plus", "General", "Advanced" and "Amateur Extra" examinations, and he could have applied for a more prestigious call sign or the so called distinctive "vanity" call sign because the license level of "Amateur Extra" has special privileges that allow an "Extra" to choose from a more select pool of call signs than what are available to the other license classes. The N2VHZ licensee is active now as call sign "DA2KW" from Germany. This is a reciprocal call sign issued by the German Telecommunications authority by regulation of the Status of Forces agreement of Germany and the United States. The N2VHZ call sign is also VHF / UHF Century Club # 1170, which is an award issued by the American Radio Relay League (A.R.R.L.) to Amateur stations for a minimum of 100 verifiable direct VHF / UHF radio contacts, all being from other Amateur stations in 100 completely different maidenhead grid locators.
