What me change my call sign? Noooo, WA5ABS has served 35 years just 
fine! Then I opened the letter in today's mail from the FCC. There in 
my hand was an official document bearing the words "AMATEUR EXTRA" 
and I got the fever.

A few minutes of my stubby digits on the keyboard and I had laid 
claim to W5GFP. Soon I can stuff an old sock in my mouth, use that W5 
call  and pass for a bona fide geezer!
