Help: License Renewal for an Older Ham

wrote in
ups.com:

A friend of mine is 88 years old, and has been an active ham since the
1940s. His license is due for renewal next year. He doesn't have an
FRN, doesn't own a computer, and doesn't have internet access.

As I understand it, he would have to obtain and submit FCC Form 160 to
get an FRN. Then he would have to obtain and submit an FCC Form 605 to
apply for renewal. The 605 form is not unique to amateur radio and is
not particularly easy to fill out.

Isn't there an easier way for a long time ham to renew his license? In
the past, he just submitted a 610 Form. I wonder how many long-time
hams have lost their licenses because of this bureaucracy.

If you're his friend, why not let him use your computer to register at the
FCC. It's a one time thing, and he can get his license renewed. You can
Elmer him through the process.
