In article om, "Dee D.
Flint" writes: "DeLores Lamb, KD7ZAE" wrote in message .. . My question is, if you have elements 1 and 2, even after a year has passed after taking element 1, do you still have the "novice" HF privileges of the Tech +HF, or do you have to take element 1 every 365 days to keep the privilege, even if you don't upgrade to General. Your Novice privileges are good forever so long as you do not let your license lapse. Not quite. There will NOT being any renewals of a Novice. Or of an Advanced class license. NOT after 2010. As the restructured amateur radio regulations of 2000 are concerned, the "forever" is going to be over in just about 6 years. Sic transit gloria mundi. WMD |

Subject: How long is element 1 good for
From: (Len Over 21) Date: 1/11/04 11:15 PM Eastern Standard Time Message-id: In article om, "Dee D. Flint" writes: "DeLores Lamb, KD7ZAE" wrote in message . ..

Your Novice privileges are good forever so long as you do not let your license lapse. Not quite. There will NOT being any renewals of a Novice. Or of an Advanced class license. NOT after 2010. Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk. Len, you are completely mistaken. As the restructured amateur radio regulations of 2000 are concerned, the "forever" is going to be over in just about 6 years. How do you know that, Len? Do you have a crystal ball that tells you how the Federal Communications Commission will change the rules in the future? Because the current rules do not support anything you wrote. Here are the facts: 1) The Federal Communications Commission has continued to renew Novice licenses as Novice right through the rules changes of 2000. There are currently no pending plans for that to change. 2) The same is true for Advanced class licenses being renewed as Advanced. 3) Novice licenses, current or expired, convey Element 1 credit for the person who earned them. Len, it appears that you have become so desperate for attention in this newsgroup that you will stoop to posting inaccurate, false and mistaken information just to see if anyone is still reading your ramblings here. Poor, poor, misguided baby Len. The answer is that there are a few who still read your posts. Many others have killfiled you because of your behavior. Most of the time we simply ignore you, Len, because you're simply not worth our time or energy. Our reaction to you has moved from interest, to anger, to disgust, to sadness and finally to indifference. I have only bothered to post this reply because someone might mistakenly think you know what you are talking about. You do not know what you are talking about, and your information is worthless. You may claim you were merely making a prediction, but there is no indication of that in your post. Now you can get all upset and SHOUT some expletives at me. You can rail and fuss and fume over my being anonymous. You can clame that your posting was merely "a trap" and your poor grammar as some sort of "Proof". You can repeat your mistaken, incorrect, misleading, false information and otherwise carry on in typical immature, spoiled-brat Leonard Anderson fashion. And even more people will ignore you. But for the record: You are mistaken. Sic transit gloria mundi. WMD You may call yourself "WMD" but all you have destroyed is the respect anyone here ever had for you. P.S. Don't bother trying to find me. For I am already gone. |

Someone is telling me if you pass the 5wpm code test today (element 1) along with element 2 (or even separately), that the element 1 portion is only good for 365 days. I have tried to read part 97 but it is confusing. It used to be that you always kept credit for any element taken. So in 3 years if you wanted to upgrade to General, your element 1 and 2 would be good. What's the story? For upgrade purposes, 365 days, just like any other element credit on a CSCE. For operational purposes, forever (until the next rules change or you lose the document and have no proof of ever having passed code). |

"Alun" wrote in message ... I'm guessing that code CSCEs issued now will turn out to be good until element 1 is abolished. 73 de Alun, N3KIP Only if the code requirement is abolished in less than 365 days. Keep in mind that some of the petitions filed do call for keeping code for General or Extra while letting the Techs have some limited HF privileges. With the speed with the FCC is not moving, less than a year from now seems rather iffy. Dee D. Flint, N8UZE |

However, once a General, then the element is part of the General package and allows upgrade to Extra without the one-year deadline or retaking. 2. Without upgrade to General/Extra, the element allows "Tech Plus" privileges, which were the bands and frequencies alloted to the Novice ticket, for as long as the holder remains a Technician. Carl |

So if the dates would end up crossing February in a leap year, the CSCE is good for one day less than a year. Dee D. Flint, N8UZE |
