Hi Larry, True except maybe for the tech+.
Now I may be wrong..... but I thought if you pass Element 2 and Element 1, you get a csce for the Tech license and the csce says you passed the 5 wpm. The csce for the 5 wpm is good only for a year. The reason is that the old Tech+s are grandfathered and their 5 wpm is good for general, but since they don't issue tech+s anymore you can't keep the 5 wpm credit permanently until you pass the General written.

No, you cannot take just the elements for a particular grade of license and become that license class. To earn to Technician license you must pass element 2 To earn a Tech + you must pass elements 2 and 1 (5 WPM code) To earn a General class license you must pass elements 1, 2 and 3 To earn Amateur Extra you must pass elements 1, 2, 3 and 4 If you walk into a VE session without a license; and all you do is take, and pass, elements 1 and 3 then all you get is a very nice Certificate of Completion, which is good for 365 days. At some point within that year, you must take and pass element 2 to complete the process and earn your license. The same goes for all the other classes, accordingly. Hope this clears the matter up for everyone. _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [email protected] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
