     As of 2023, if you were first licensed ANY TIME in the year 1998,   
   or earlier, and are currently licensed, YOU QUALIFY FOR MEMBERSHIP.   
   Go to qcwa.org for more info.   
      
     I was first licensed in August, 1991...so, I thought I'd have to   
   wait until August, 2016 to join. They said "No, any time in 2016,   
   you can join". So, right after the new year, I filled out my   
   application, sent in my dues, and that made me a member. I was   
   able to upgrade to a Life Member shortly thereafter, and while   
   the cost is not cheap, it's less expensive than what ARRL wants   
   for their Life Membership.
