   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.
