Who may receive partial credit for the elements represented by an expired amateur radio license?
Any person who can demonstrate that they once held an FCC-issued General, Advanced, or Amateur Extra class license that was not revoked by the FCC✓Correct answer
Anyone who held an FCC-issued amateur radio license that expired not less than 5 and not more than 15 years ago
Any person who previously held an amateur license issued by another country, but only if that country has a current reciprocal licensing agreement with the FCC
Only persons who once held an FCC issued Novice, Technician, or Technician Plus license
Explanation
The credit table keys on the class once held, not on how recently it expired. An expired Amateur Extra grant carries Elements 3 and 4 and an expired Advanced or General grant carries Element 3, so any of those three classes yields partial credit; an expired Technician Plus or post-1987 Technician grant carries none, and there is no 5-to-15-year window.
