I was first licensed in December of 1964 as WN2QUR - In January of 1965, I received the postcard from ARRL that is pictured below. At that time, they recalled WN2QUR and replaced it with WN2RCB. I upgraded to General in May of 1965 at the Rochester Hamfest. Upgraded again to Advanced in 1988 and finally a vanity callsign change to W2RDK (my initials) in January of 2009

Above is the QSL from the first person to hold the call W2RDK - I located it thru a Google search
W2RDK was first issued in 1947 and held by C.C Miller of Gloucester New Jersey. He held the call from 1947 thru 1951
The callsign was never re-issued to anyone for over 67 years until I requested it through the vanity callsign program in 2019
