Upgrades:
If
you are claiming an upgrade from "Tech Plus" to "General"
because you held a Technician License prior to March 21, 1987,
you MUST furnish the VE Team proof of that fact. An old license
with an issue date prior to 03/21/1987 is acceptable. A Call
book showing your license status prior to 1987 is also
acceptable. Due to revisions made during the calendar year,
please use a Call book prior to 1988. If you use a 1987 Call
book, it must be the first published edition of 1987 and not a
supplement. You can write to the FCC and request documentation
of the fact that you qualify. There is also at least one
commercial company that will research it for you for a fee. See
the article beginning on page 68 of the February 2000 QST for
more information. The burden of proof rests with the applicant.
Please don't ask the VE Team to upgrade you without the proper
documentation just because we might know you and know that you
received your ticket fifteen or twenty years ago. WE MUST
furnish proof along with your application for the upgrade to be
valid.
