Let my license lapse, KF5KXC, back on 05/04/2023. What hoops do I have to jump through to get this renewed? |
Call the tune and let's dance; but beware that the devil is the piper and the tab for that soiree will be hell to pay.

There is a two year grace period but you're past that. You'll have to take the current Technician test to get restarted. If you previously held a higher class license (General, Advanced, Extra) you can present proof at the test session and you'll get your previous license class back. If you want your old callsign you'll have to apply for it as a vanity call. https://www.arrl.org/expired-license-credit |

The license appears to be unclaimed, hasn't gone back through the pool, so you may be able to get it back. You were a General so as long as you have proof of that (which the current record should be as long as it was linked to a FRN) you just take the Tech as said and you're back in. |
Thanks much. Time to find that web site & start practicing that Tech test yet again.
