I'll claim an asterisk.  Or two, or three...

My dad is K9HIS, grandfather was K9RWQ (SK since '79)
uncles K9LDV and (at the time) K8HIH (now KB9JZ).
My brother (a year and a half older) and I took the
Novice tests at the same time and became WN9BAP and
WN9BAQ (now K9PS and KQ9K).

My dad administered the tests (which was legal at the
time), but we both had to sit in front of a real FCC
examiner when we upgraded to general a year or so
later.
