You need the expired license or other proof. Prior to 3/21/87 Techs took the same exam as General but at 5wpm code instead of 13wpm for General. I was licensed tech and novice WA4AYK and WN4AYK when I was a freshman at Union College, 1960 , but I let it expire. In 2003 I decided to get another license, with my brother, who had never held a license, we decided, that we would study for an element a month. When we got to the first test session the VEC's informed me I could get General by passing element 2. When I passed that they informed me I could try for Extra without additional cost so I tried it and I passed, even though we had not studied for element 4. So I walked out an Extra when I was expecting to be a Tech. My brother passed an element a month for his Extra after 4 months. He is John AI4EL.
