I relayed the information exactly as it appears in QRZ, which shows your license (KF5NNZ) expired in November 2021 and that the renewal window has passed. As a result, there are currently no operating privileges associated with that callsign.</div>

After you mentioned upgrading in 2017, I located that application, which was approved on 08/01/2017. Under normal circumstances, that upgrade would have extended your expiration date to 2027. However, the application includes an unusual detail.</div>

The \u201cRequested Expiration Date\u201d field is populated. That\u2019s not something I\u2019ve personally seen before, and if it were honored, would provide a 12-year term. Given that inconsistency, this appears to be an issue best addressed by the VEC that handled the filing.
I recommend contacting W5YI directly at vec@w5yi-vec.org to see if they can provide clarification or assistance.</div>

Forget that guy; he can't help. What is the length of time a general license is good for? The Washington County fellow indicated that the General license only is good for 4 years.</div>
