I don't think a callbook listing would be acceptable "proof" for the FCC
to give him credit for having passed the code test in the past. But,
again, since no code test is required anymore, he can simply re-test for
any class license and request his old call as a vanity callsign.

I was a ham operator in the early 1960s and my call sign was KN1VTR.
I have lost all proof of that over the years and was wondering if
anyone knows of an "archive" where i might be able to find "proof". I
think if I can find it, I might be able to Grandfather 5 WPM CW.

Thanks



Code is not a requirement any more as of February 2007 the Morse Code
requirement was dropped for ALL amateur licenses

But if you want info on your old call:
Try W5YI Super Site -- The W5YI-VEC will perform exhaustive hand lookups
into their massive collection of old callbooks for a $5 fee. Contact them at
1-800-669-9594. URL: http://www.w5yi.org/

Also W3HF has a very complete collection of callbooks - URL:

Good Luck
