Just got this email from one of our local clubs...
From ARRL Headquarters
Newington CT June 23, 2014
To all radio amateurs
In a wide-ranging Report and Order (R&O) released June 9, the
Commission announced that it would grant examination credit for
written elements 3 (General) and 4 (Amateur Extra) to holders of
"expired licenses that required passage of those elements." The FCC
will require former licensees falling outside the 2-year grace
period to pass Element 2 (Technician) in order to be relicensed. The
Commission declined to give exam credit to holders of expired
Certificates of Successful Completion of Examination (CSCEs) or to
extend lifetime validity to CSCEs. The R&O can be found on the web
in PDF format at,
