In order for someone to get a US Amateur Extra Class License, he or she
has to pass elements 2, 3, and 4. So, it's not just a matter of passing
one test, but three.
If your friend wants to, he can do them all at one test session, but all
three tests must be passed to get the privileges on a US callsign.

Thanks Mark.
I told him he should probably plan on taking the Extra exam with me in
the next few weeks just to be sure.

Congrats on the General! As to your British friend, check out this FCC

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?

*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!!
