what actually happened was that a lot of novices upgraded to technician so
they could talk on the local repeater and so that was a natural upgrade for
them. The fcc isn't issuing novice or advanced class licenses any more.
What a lot of people would do is simply upgrade from advanced just before
their license expired that way they get a whole new license with a new ten
year term. Upgrading from advanced to extra was also a very easy
progression. 73- pat kk3f
