Good job Terri.  The FCC doesn't send any notification that you are about to 
expire.  Mine was up last August and 90 days prior, I got mail from W5YI and 
another VEC  group trying to get me to renew through them.   It would be 
very easy to just toss the mail as junk mail and  never realize that your 
time was up.  Did mine through the FCC site, but happy you got yours taken 
care of.
