    DS>   I was first licensed in August, 1991...so, I thought I'd have to   
    DS> wait until August, 2016 to join. They said "No, any time in 2016, you can   
    DS> join". So, right after the new year, I filled out my application, sent in   
    DS> my dues, and that made me a member. I was able to upgrade to a Life   
    DS> Member shortly thereafter, and while the cost is not cheap, it's less   
    DS> expensive than what ARRL wants for their Life Membership.
