Hi David!

Just my opinion, but as you said yourself that you had to start again from
scratch, that first license wasn't counted, so even if you suddenly
remembered the exact date of that old novice license today, no one would
ever be able to verify it because you hadn't kept it up. Because you let it
lapse, you lost any claim it could have given you, so your check would need
to be based on your current license.

Of course, operating remote might dictate additional restrictions.
Interesting points to ponder.

73,
Dave

    Hi:

I listened to a little of the contest on W0ZSW, and heard one of the
contesters explain its  required info.  One thing that has me puzzled is the
"check" requirement as I was first licensed as a Novice back in 1975/6-can't
remember exact year as WA1ZHB, but that ticket lapsed, and I  had to start
from "scratch" after move, and vision loss, and am now an Extra with the
call-WA4DSP.

If I were in that contest, and was asked  for my "check"(date of first
licensing), what should be my reply?

Sincerely,



DSP

I heard at least three hams during the contest, stopping to explain to the
person calling, how the exchanges work and the order they should be in and
what each one meant.  Pretty good ham etiquette for such mean contesters,
and bad ass ham contest stations, haha.
