[AMRadio] Extra Class

[rbethman]

You still have to take the ENTIRE Extra exam, BUT - you have to prove 
that you took Element 3 PRIOR to 1987.

Since I did NOT keep my very first license - ORIGINAL - ,, NOR have an 
ENTIRE Callbook showing me in it, since I got licensed in 1980, I had to 
get a letter from the FCC CERTIFYING that I indeed have the Element 3.

It has become a new requirement, apparently.
