These days, anyone can pay for a "vanity" call. Like the GA car license
plate, you can have it say anything you want within the rules and no dups.
Generally, KD4 was probably issued before KG4 and a shorter call (WF4W)
cay indidate a more advanced license. The "4" in a US license should
indicate it was asigned to a ham in the SE.
Cheers,
