Nope. Wrong. You are mistaken. Once an amateur's license expires,
he or she *cannot* legally operate until the is renewed.

Unless the renewal has been applied for before expiration. Then,
the license privileges continue until the FCC acts upon the application.


Oh oh. An exception to the rule rears its ugly head.....


The exception that proves the rule, Leo.

Certainly such a procedure would be necessary, as there is a finite
period that it takes the FCC to grant the renewed license, and a finite
period of time that it takes to get to them. So a person that renews
their license on the last day will always go beyond the deadline,
especially if they mail their renewal in.

How could the J & M tag team possibly miss that one?

On the other hand, if the person waits one day *after* the license
expires, it is a different story, eh?
