In fact, while you're there, try Element 4 (Extra). Costs nothing but your
time, and you might wind up an Extra.

Awesome! Thanks for advice!

You're welcome.

As of yesterday, I was thinking I'd have to retest for everything , so I
downloaded the new tech pool from ARRL. Taking that test is going to be no
problem. I think i could get a 80 or 90 percent if i had to answer the whole
500 or so question pool now now.

See? Nothing to it.

So like you say, mabe start studying for the Extra also. Why not.

'zactly. Go for it.

Just to be sure, do you know of any web sites that throw 35 questions at you
and grade you?

Not offhand, but I know they exist. Try a Google search. I will do so and post
the results when I have a chance (this is being written offline and will be
AutoAol'ed to post).

Oh yes, and if I give the VE the 1986 licence will he know my most currently
expired one is from 1989? (from some data base or something), giving me only
Element one.

Doesn't matter. Your 1986 license documentation overrides the 1989 license
documentation. The reason for the difference is that the Tech test changed on
March 21, 1987. The '86 license proves you took the "old" test, and that's all
that matters.

If it were me, I'd bring the original licenses and a copy or two.

Again, Thank you kindly

Weclome back and good luck!
