Jim's caution below is accurate.

Until the effective date of the new rules, you can't upgrade to General or
Extra without credit for Element 1.

AFTER the effective date you CAN upgrade to General or Extra without having
passed Element 1.

HOWEVER, you MUST upgrade by either presenting valid, unexpired CSCEs for
the written elements for the class of license at a VE session (and pay the
fee ...) OR take and pass the required written elements (and, again, pay the
fee ...) at a VE session.

Please do NOT operate beyond your license privileges.


Most Definitely!


Hi Carl - Haven't heard from you for quite a while. Hope all is going well.

Someone keeps posting this kind of stuff, I can only imagine that they
want to scam people into illegal operation, then hoping they get caught?
It's a funny world we live in.

Despite my personal preferences for some sort of Element one testing,
(heck, I would prefer shrimp, steak and and lobster every evening too) I
am kind of excited that there will be a crop of amateurs, new to HF,
that will need a good deal of Elmering. Lots of exciting stuff to learn
and pass on.

And rule number one is what you stated above - keep within the privileges.
