[CW] Renewing 2nd Class RT Cert.

[David J. Ring, Jr.]

Hello Steve,

You're right - the Radiotelephone license was officially called "General 
Radiotelephone Operator's License (or certificate)" - GROL and 
Administrations (like Posts and Telegraph Department, Department of 
Commerce, Federal Communications Commission - the national government 
department overseeing radio) were given the option of having a higher 
examination - so we and some other countries had a First Class 
Radiotelephone Operators License - but if you look on the face of both the 
1st phone and 2nd phone you will see in small print under FIRST CLASS 
RADIOTELEPHONE OPERATORS LICENSE the small letters "General Radiotelephone 
Operators License" - which is also called "GROL".

The Telegraph license was never known as anything else besides 
Radiotelegraph Operator's License - so it will continue to be known as 
that.

I can soon convert my nice T1 license to a T license - as  long as I  pay 
$70.00.

Progress is not lost on me.
