To follow the rules however, your look to the first issuance of that license
to the club and there is your SS check. The same easy process as for your own
callsign. It does not get changed when you upgraded, moved to new call areas,
changed to a vanity callsign. It is the year a license was first issued to
you. As it is the year "first licensed" I would think even a person whos
license lapsed and came back into the hobby would use the year of his first
callsign.
I am trustee for W2SV first issued in 1930. Every member of the club asking
to use it for a contest or event knows that the callsign represents the club
and not an individual. They use the club data.
