"7" was the Pacific Region.

The region number was always the first part of the callsign, but when there 
were in their own region they didn't use it.  You seldom ever heard it because 
they didnt move around the country as much in the old days.

The number block after the letter generally told you which District, Resident 
Office, or Port of Entry of the region the unit was from.  Example:  7A100's 
were Los Angeles District, 7A200's were San Diego District, etc.  But here 
locally, they would never say the "7".
