I went on line last week and renewed my ham license and have since got
the
new one in the mail. At the same time I did a name change on my GROL and
now
it shows up. You are right about the wallpaper. I think my 1st phone is
in
the picture frame tucked behind my NARTE Certifications.

My first phone (with the big cancelled stamp) is displayed at home next to
my expired NARTE Class I Engineer with dual masters endorsements. After 10
years of so of paying $60 a year for that, and never finding an employer
that even knew what it was, I dropped NARTE.
