[CW] OT: FCC Petition for Lifetime Amateur License

[ka2ili]

I received my Novie call in 1978 KA2ILI,  and even changed it as I worked my w as y up through the other 4 grades of licensing, ( when they had 5 grades, Novice, Technician, General, Advanced and Extra ). But after I got one of the 1st Extra AA calls ( AA2AT ) I missed my Novice call, and because my AA2AT call was a little intimidating to the novices on CW bands  (which I absolutely adore working CW on the novice portions of the bands), I decided to request my novice call back again.. I to believe then my call is Who I am, and reminds me of the dedication, work, gratification, and everything I put into this hobby I love so much.. and if the Lord  should call me home today, I think my call should leave it too... LOL  ... I do seriously think that the calls of amateur radio operators that have passed away, should be retired forever... Madeline Jensen KA2ILI

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?)
