... so I'm going to get one of the
new fangled "Tech" and then "General" licenses. Shouldn't be
a problem, I did the 5 wpm code test before, I could re-learn
that; and I have a couple of degrees in physics and
electrical engineering so all I really need to re-learn are
the rules and such.


If you an prove that you held a novice license in the past, even though now
expired, it is accepted as credit for having passed the 5wpm and you would
not have to retake the code test. The best thing is your old license if you
can find it. A copy of an old call book page showing it is also usually
sufficient. Or if you don't mind paying for an FCC search, you can proof
from them.
