Not meaning to hijack the thread or anything but I have a ham radio related question.

Decades ago when I was a wee teenager I got my ham radio license. I ended up eventually expiring past the renewal and renewal grace period. Checking the registry it still shows my name on the original call sign though it's obviously flagged as expired. Recently I was thinking of studying up and getting back in to it again. Does anyone here know if there there is any way I could take the test again and get my original call sign back? I would love to have my original one back but I couldn't find out anything online if it was possible or if I would just be assigned whatever is available.
