Until the F.C.C. can receive and grant renewals immediately from all

Hams, there will have to be such a rule. Otherwise they would have
to
determine some time lag, say a week, and then tell you you have to
calculate the number of days in ten years minus 1 week. Remember it
will
be different for many hams, because it depends on how many leap
years
there have been since you got your ticket, and whether you got your
ticket before the leap day if you got the ticket during a leap year.

Remember too that there's a 90 day limit in the other direction - if
you send
in a renewal too early (more than 90 days before expiration) they
send it back.

Do you know of a single instance of this happening?

I'm not sure why that 90-day rule exists. For many years you could
get
a simultaneous renewal whenever you modified. I was a ham for a long
time
before I ever actually "renewed" because every upgrade and address
change
resulted in a renewed license too.

They're trying to get us to read the directions.

We say we're trainable. They're just checking.

Perhaps the vanity call system stopped the simultaneous renewals.

I think it was the sequential call system that stopped the simultaneous
renewals. )
