Ditto on call signs...it's been my identity for decades.  Besides I earned mine.  The next guy will likely be codeless.

I would add a request that callsigns die with the holder.   Its my name in ham radio.  I hate to work someone, thinking I know him, to find out its the next person up.

   The first down side of this proposal is: when a HAM dies his call
sign will not automatically drop back into pool after their renewal
date.  (I think there is a grace period of a year or two now?)
