That's probably what I'll do, although he lives about 25 miles from me
these days, and I don't like the idea of an 88 year old driving that
far.

My gripe is that renewing a ham licesnse shouldn't have to be any more
difficult than renewing a drivers license. Until recently it wasn't.
They've made it easier to get a license (VE sessions vs. a trip to the
FCC Office), but harder to renew.

There are four hams in my family and we've got the online renewal thing
worked out. But for an older ham without a computer, it can be a real
problem. He shouldn't have to pay someone to renew a free ham license!

Thanks for you reply, Bob.
