As to your British friend, check out this FCC web page:http://wireless.fcc.gov/services/index.htm?job=about_4&id=amateur Until his UK license expires, he has reciprocity here. But the FCC encourages that he get a US license grant (take the exam...).As I understand, UK licenses don't expire? 73MarkK5MGJ From: rodney martinez via BVARC <bvarc@bvarc.org> To: BRAZOS VALLEY AMATEUR RADIO CLUB <bvarc@bvarc.org> Cc: rodney martinez <sota...@yahoo.com> Sent: Wednesday, April 12, 2017 5:36 PM Subject: [BVARC] Advice for a UK operator I am looking for advice for a long-time friend here in the US. He has been working here legally for many years from the United Kingdom (Britain), and served as a radio operator in the Royal Signal Corps across the pond. He has the highest rating they offer in amateur radio over there (which should equate to Extra here, I presume), but has no plans to return there unless tied up and thrown in the bilge. He wants to get licensed here in the US. In order to become an Extra here in US, I am assuming he will have to take the same test? Any advice will be surely appreciated. He and I own a collection of British PRC-320 military surplus backpack HF units just for fun.....look them up. Oh, and hey...I passed the General last night!!
