[Norm Fusaro]

Just to clarify, anyone who has let their license expire and is not currently licensed must pass current Element 2 (Technician) to get credit for an expired license.

===========================
===========================

Today the FCC has ruled in favor of granting all previous expired License Class credit without retesting.

As long as you hold any current Amateur ticket, you may upgrade without further examination to General Class, (providing you can show proof you ever held a General, Advanced, or <Mar. 21, 1987 Tech+) and you can get your Extra back if you ever had one before. (Novice tickets are not discussed.)

In effect, this is lifetime Credit for all written Elements ever passed. (Note: this is not the same as a lifetime license some are confusing terms with.)

Since the FCC no longer issues Advanced Class Licenses, former holders of these will only get General Class credit.

I provide authentic, Certified Callbook proof of previous License Class that the FCC ruling directs VE's to accept to grant the automatic upgrade.

This is the biggest change in the ARS since the code requirement was dropped.
