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.
