Hello All,
I was licensed at the age of 12 in 1963 as a Technician Class. I let my license lapse a long time ago (High School / Girls / Life). After 55 years, I'm now prepping to get licensed again, only this time I'm going for all three exams on the same day to just go ahead and make the jump to Extra.
My question is this. How do I reclaim my old call sign again? Can I just ask for it when I pass the exams, or do I have to wait, get a random call sign assigned, then make a request to get my old call sign restored as a "vanity" call sign?
