Look up what class of licence I have and when it was issued

And how am I to do that Alun? You have not seen fit to provide a
callsign. And I am not going to play detective.

Let me help out with that....it's in many of Alun's posts:

N3KIP - Extra class. Issued March 10, 2004. (is that the original
date, or a renewal?)

Or G0VUK, in the UK.

73, Leo

Thanks Leo....

My comments stand. He knows nothing about CW operation. If anyone
doubts that, go to his QRZ biography and read the following ;
"100 percent phone operator".

And with a N call 1x3 that means he got his ''Extra" the easy way.
Recently no doubt. Guess even a hundred percent phone operator is
capable of passing the multiple guess 5wpm test for Extra...what a
joke. I rest my case.

No an N call 1x3 does not mean that he is necessarily a recent Extra.
I pass my Tech with code in May of 1992 and received my original call
sign (N8UZE) at that time, which I have kept. In late 1992, I passed
my Extra, including 20wpm, and received my Extra class license in early
1993.

The sequentially assigned 1x3 calls beginning with N ran out in the
early to mid 1990s, the exact date being dependent on the call area.

One cannot leap to conclusions based on call sign.

Indeed. I got my Extra the same time as you did, Dee, although I got a no-
code licence in 1980, which of course I couldn't have done if I had been in
the US at the time.
