Jim,

I still disagree. I send 68 because that is the year I was 1st licensed.  Now I 
have been through the following calls...

WN4LHK
WB4LHK
N4VI

license expires, grace period is increased from 2 yrs to 5yrs but I didn't know.

At 5years and 6 months...

KE0RD
back to N4VI.

I intend to keep sending 68.

73

Chris, n4vi
