But definitely not in all cases. I would disagree somewhat. An application for renewal of a license means that the license is not expired as long as it is sent in on time. Well, that's one way to look at it. Assuming that there is no reason for not granting a renewed license, it will be granted, I hope I'm correct. That's correct in more than 99% of cases in the ARS. If you send your IRS forms in by April 15th, it is considered sending them in on time, even though the IRS has not received them. Send it in on April 16th, and you could have a problem. It is late. But does anyone *really* get gigged by IRS for being a day or two late? Most folks won't take the chance to find out. Seems a pretty simple thing to me. Send in your renewal by the expiry date of your license, and your license continues. Sure - *if* the FCC gets it before then. And if it's correct - if you forgot to fill out certain blocks, they might reject it. Send it in the day after the license expires, and the license remains expired until they re-issue it. Yep. Or do the modern thing and renew online. Takes a few minutes and you *know* they got it, because your renewal shows up in the database. 73 de Jim, N2EY |
