I was wondering how many of you have kept their/your original callsign even when you have upgraded.

Was a new callsign automatically assigned?
Did you go through the vanity callsign program?

It's not that I hate my callsign, it is dear to me. I'm just now getting back into ham radio after a long lapse and have set a goal to upgrade. I thought a change in my callsign would therefore also be appropriate.
My grandpa has held his original callsign for 50 years. He was licensed as KN9MMS when he was 14 back in 1958 and then when he upgraded to general his call was automatically changed to K9MMS but he has still kept the same call.

As for me..... I changed my call from KC0USZ to K0DXC right when I upgraded to general.
