I've been "off the air" since about 1990 due to "life constraints", and getting involved with computers in my job at the same time. Today I wondered if my license was valid, so checked the FCC Bulletin. K5AWO Licensee ID: L00268681 License Class: Amateur Extra FRN: 0003899804 Radio Service: HA Issue Date: 01/10/2017 Expire Date: 03/20/2027 Date of Last Change: 01/10/2017 (License Renewed) My question is why does it not show when I was first licensed back in 1958? Is there a place where that can be found? Also, was wondering if the dates when you progress through Novice, to General, to Extra Class are recorded? I skipped the Technician level. My only interest for the 1st 20 years was CW on the HF bands. |

The FCC lost license records in an early 1970s flood, It is expensive to digitize old paper records accurately. |

Okay, thanks for the info..... I have a few of my paper licenses, will have to do a PDF scan for my records. |
