My license was issued a long time ago and I'll be darn'd if I can remember the exact date.
Is there anyway to lookup online when I first got my ticket?
Thank you,
K4BDA

If it's been more than 25 years you can contact the QCWA folks. I think they have a collection of old callbooks and can tell you within an issue of the callbook when your call first appears.

Send a note to Pete, NL7XM, who is a director of QCWA. He keeps the massive collection of Callbooks as Tony noted.
His email is TwelveVDC@aol.com. I'm not sure you need to have been licensed for any specific time. Pete's a really nice fellow.

If you have even a rough idea, you can search through the archive.org callbook selection; they've got lots of them.

Thanks guys. I see my novice call listed in the 1959 call book...
So I think I must have gotten my novice license sometimes in 1958, the year before the book came out.
I would have been 15 or 16 then, depending on exactly when the license was issued.
Great lifetime hobby!

I luckily saved all my paper licenses. A novice back in 73 a day before my birthday. And yes to the life time hobby. Mike
