|Yes - even if the license is expired. Any Novice license document, Technician

|So all you need for a General is your Tech Plus license and a passing grade on

Thank you Jim. I go test this morning then. Believe I'm up for
Extra, at least have had the theory for years just couldn't get up the
code speed, then couldn't get me a 'round tuit' to go test.
