Or C, any person who previously held an amateur license issued by another country, but only if that country has current reciprocal licensing agreement with the FCC.

Or D, only persons who once held an FCC-issued Novice, Technician, or Technician Plus license.

Who may receive partial credit for the elements represented by an expired amateur radio license? Hmm.

Well, first, let's get that foreign country thing out of the way.

That's a different exam there.

So anything you took on that's not gonna be credit here in the US, so it's not C.

So A, any person who can demonstrate they once held an FCC-issued General, Advanced, or Amateur Extra class license that was not revoked by the FCC.

Hmm.

That's leaving out if you'd held a technician.

I'm not sure about that.

B, anyone who held an FCC-issued amateur radio license that expired not less than five and not more than 15 years ago.

Or D, only persons who once held an FCC-issued Novice, Technician, or Technician Plus license.

This is crazy hard right here.

I don't think I've ever heard these exact specifications before.

It doesn't seem right to me that they'll count General, Advanced, and Extra but won't count Technician.

Yeah, seems very strange.

Yeah.

And that expired not less than five years ago, and not more than 15 years ago.

[laughs]

That sounds kinda crazy.

What if it expired four years ago? D, only persons who once held an FCC-issued Novice, Technician, or Technician Plus license Uh, I'm probably gonna be wrong, but I'm gonna say that's it

D?

D.
