Perhaps the vanity call system stopped the simultaneous renewals.

How do you know this, Steve?
I read, Jim. I read the FCC's press releases about ULS down for hardware
installations...I read about ULS down for software changes.
If a ham happens to move right at the time of renewal, the system can handle
it.
So that's not the problem.
My speculation on vanity calls is based on the fact that a new vanity call
issuance generates a renewal. That way, the fee doesn't have to be pro-rated.
But I don't know why nonvanities couldn't be renewed when a ham moves or
upgrades. That would reduce FCC paperwork.
It's that expensive, state-of-the-art data system they have, Jim.
