EV>Hi Tom,

EV>As I'm as inactive as You are, I also renew my License every 10 Years.

EV>I 'Think' I can still pass the Written and Code Exams if ever I was
EV>asked to do so by the Friendly Country Cousins.

EV>I tried for the Extra once just to see if I could get it because one
EV>local Ham who I considered was a VERY BIG LID had got one.

EV>Hey I'm a LID too, I just thought that He was a bigger LID than I am.

EV>I passed the Extra Code Test but Flunked the Written Test really bad!

EV>It was the first test I took that the FCC employee would give the person
EV>a Temporory Upgrade Ticket before they walked out the door.

EV>I went in as a General and waddled out as a Advanced.

EV>And since the Advanced Class test isn't given anymore I decided to keep
EV>renewing it.

EV>My next Renewal Date is 10-21-2017, I hope You make it to Yours in 2022.

I think you have a better chance then I do. :-)  :-)
