[Hammarlund] Old Callbook Listings?

[Jerry Kessler]

Woody,

As others have pointed out, you do not need prior documentation to 
apply for your old call under the FCC's vanity call sign 
program.  But you will have to take an amateur exam and become licensed again.

The prior documentation would be useful if you held a Technician 
license prior to March 21, 1987.  That previously held license 
establishes an examination credit for the current-day general class 
ticket provided you take the exam and are granted a licence for the 
current-day Technician.  See 
http://www.arrl.org/arrlvec/grandfather.html for more info.
