Later that year passed General and became K7VUB. Moved to California in 1965, received Additional Station License, W6BXQ, and held both calls for a while. Later dropped K7VUB. Upgraded to Advanced in San Francisco a few years later. Moved to South Florida in 1986. Bought a house in 1998 with a big enough yard for a few antennas! When mobile in the Miami/Ft.
