Back in the gud ol' days ('58), the non-renewable Novice license was good for only 12 months, starting from the application date. I don't think that's the way it was. That was the way it was, Jim. Why would I make it up? I didn't say you made it up. I didn't say you lied. I simply wrote that I don't think that's how it was back then. Actually it was that way. My father had a KN7 call and the Novice license even back in the early 1960's was good for only one year, then it became null and void. No argument there! The novice was one-year nonrenewable from its inception in 1951 to 1967, when it became two-year nonrenewable. (And "non-retakeable" - one to a customer.) The dispute was whether the year started when the initial application was made, or only when the license was actually issued. With the processing delays of those times, the difference could be weeks or even months! All the Novices I knew in the '60s and later received their licenses only a day or two after the effective date. But in King Zulu's case, the license date was *months* before it arrived - close to the date of the initial application. He upgraded before the year ran out, and they dropped the "N" from the prefix, and he's held that call since. Yep. The letter V was also used, as in WV2ABC. Don't know why they needed two special Novice prefixes... 73 de Jim, N2EY |
