[TVARC] ARRL sweepstakes November 15

[joe signorelli]

Mike,  Your QRZ page says you were licensed as Technician as WA2UMO in 1961.  A call to ARRL headquarters may help for more specifics.  I called them in 2004 to find that I received my Novice license in 1964.

Due to my advanced age and dimming memory, I can only guess what year it was. (Approximately 1960). Is there any way of getting a more accurate estimate of what my initial license date was?
