... 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.

I have it in my hot little hands even as I type.

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.

So, I just show up with my old novice license, and I can take
the Tech written test? Can I take the general test the same
day? I guess that depends on the place I get tested at, right?
I found a list of locations near me at the ARRL website. This
is great news. Thanks a lot!
