But so many of us have changed callsigns in recent years you can't always
go by the exchange year. The callsign I am using was issued in '96 with the
vanity upgrades, so I properly reported 1996, although my original callsign
was issued in 1951.
That said, I noticed that some of the guys with recent-style calls were
obviously reporting their original license issue year, not the current
callsign issue year as (apparently) required by the rules at:

You were good copy here in SC. Thanks for the Qs on 40 and 20.

My interpretation:
It doesn't say date when callsign issued, it says licence first
issued.
The only mention of callsign is under multi-op, and even then it's
when the op whose callsign is being used was first licensed.
