Not so. You may renew your license at every 10-year interval and keep your original callsign, regardless of your current residence. Please understand this distinction: your callsign is issued originally by your state of residence when it is obtained; once obtained, you may keep it and renew it until you die. If you do decide to change your callsign based on your new state, you would then receive a call sequentially, as though you just got a new license. For instance, if I were to get a 3 call, and since I have an Extra class license, I would get (I think) AB3-something. On the other hand, you may request a vanity call as I mentioned before, at an additional cost.
