rIght, but it's the same for sequentials, any changes don't
extend your expiration date, unless it's a change of call
sign.  I.e. Kathy changed her address as did I when we moved here, then
upgraded to general.  even with her upgrade to
general back in '07 her expiration still remained 2010.

yEah know what you mean.  my sequential stunk for phonetics
on phone, was fair for the code, but not near as good as
this one.  I like it, great cw rhythm and works good on
phone so I'll pay for it again next year <g>.

YEah that does sound like a good one.  Kathy's dad was a ww2 navy radioman in
the pacific, and had a call sign before
then, but after wife kids divorce etc. he let his lapse.  We can find his wn0
call from once he got a novice call back in the late '70's again, which iirc
got converted to a wd0 when he upgraded, but we want to find his original and
see if
Kathy can get it under the vanity program.  I've got a
couple of qcwa guys poring over old call books from before
they were put online looking for it, and if they get a hit
then we'll have her apply for it if she's eligible.

Can understand that.  IT gets to be like your name after
awhile, you get used to being called by it, and identifying
yourself by it.  Hard to change after awhile.
