Well this was interesting experience.
My former call sign expired back in 2016 since we started using other apps on the phone and my radios just sat in the corner not used.
Recently working in security found more use with them depending on who was working with and where, plus family activities since cell batteries seem to be crap anymore.
My FRN was still active so logged onto the ULS thinking could just easily renew my old call sign from 2016 well after speaking with the FCC the agent pretty much told me its cheaper and quicker just to get a new application using the same FRN is fine.
The agent advised it would be close to $200 just to reactivate the old call sign, so just paid the $70 and be done with it.
Was also shocked that no more paper licenses are sent, all electronic documents, my other IG Business license was always mailed out before use.
My other debate is why license but had to for my piece of mind, so tired of finding so many business using the business MURS and or DOT common frequencies with out license.
Interesting experience..
