As I read the rule:
4.4.1. The last 2 digits of the year of first license for either the
operator or the station.
it seems rather clear to me that if I am operating my own station then
it is the year I was first licensed and that is what I've used each time
I've operated solo or used my call in a multi effort.
If I were operating the club station, that could get a bit more sticky,
do I choose the year our club first obtained a club license (somewhat
recently) or the year the SK's call we now hold was first licensed (mid
1920's)? I know which I would choose.

I think it's most important that it not change throughout the period of
SS.
