So my license expired a while ago (2009) mainly because I've never personally owned a radio and the last time I was on the air was 2003. However I was looking at what it would take to renew and I was having a really hard time figuring out exactly what was involved. When I log into the ULS it says I need a waiver but I can't locate the waiver form. Does anybody have any experience with this? Should I just retest and get a new license? (might as well go with general or extra this time I guess) Thanks! ---- Bryan Hunt, PE |

Hello Bryan - Regretfully, as you know, your Tech license has expired in October 2009 (and gone beyond the FCC two year renewal grace period) had cancelled in October 2011. Cancellation is a termination of that license. As an ARRL member, I would have to believe that you had received the ARRL Members free offer for renewal, as well as reminders from other VEC's. To get re-started back into amateur radio, you at a minimum must take the current 35-question Technician exam at a VE test session. Once you pass that test FCC will issue to you a new call sign. The best place to learn about "ham radio", both the adventure, and the license structure is to start at: http://www.arrl.org/getting-licensed Be sure to browse and click on the links at the left-hand side of the pages you visit in that section! Hope that helps - for more concerns, feel free to call the ARRL VEC at 860-594-0300, or by e-mail vec@arrl.org Perry Green, WY1O |
