Nice thought, but those calls are used on low-power commercial TV stations and
in other non-Amateur services.

Long ago, I suggested to the FCC that one simple solution
would have been to double up the number in the callsign,
at least for the continental 48, so I'd be W51GN if I
operated for one-land. (And WPXer's would have gained new
mults!).
Obviously, that was too complicated for the FCC.

I am ancient enough to remember that when my parents moved us to a new house
about three blocks away I had to sign WA9AUM/9 for months until the FCC
finally changed my license.
Now, I would have no problem with signing K1TN/9 if necessary. After all, as
a Big Gun Contester, I only send my call sign once per hour anyway.
