Thanks es 73, Roger N5RWK -----Original Message----- From: Brian Havran [mailto:brianhavran at att.net] Sent: Wednesday, January 14, 2026 6:04 PM To: info at w5sfa.org Cc: Robert Ballew Subject: Winter Field Day Greetings Stephen F Austin Amateur Radio Club, The Katy Amateur Radio Club is planning a Winter Field Day event for Saturday January 24th at a location in Waller County. This will be between Hempstead and FM 529 and just east of the Brazos. We would like to invite members from your club to come out and participate in Winter Field Day activities with us. We are planning to make it an enjoyable time, yes we will be logging contacts, but not in a fast and furious manner as we do in the summer. Food and soft drinks/water will be on site and restrooms are available. KARS has well over 125 members that are classified as "active" and several more who have pulled back in recent years. We attract members from Waller County, Fort Bend County, and of course, western Harris County. It is our intent to be laid back and have fun in the hobby of amateur radio while still being serious when we key up the mike. We would love to meet up with you all, our neighbors to the west! Hopefully, many of the SFA club members will be interested and make the short drive out to our event. If so, then please respond to this email and I will reply with address and directions.

As a result, there are currently no operating privileges associated with that callsign. You can verify this directly here: https://www.qrz.com/db/KF5NNZ. 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. [CleanShot 2026-01-19 at 18.22.03 at 2x.png] The “Requested Expiration Date” field is populated. That’s not something I’ve 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 at w5yi-vec.org to see if they can provide clarification or assistance.

A license upgrade (in your case, Technician to General) does not extend or reset the term of a license. Like you - and others I spoke with - I had assumed that an upgrade would renew the license term. The truth is that there are only two actions that reset the expiration date: renewing the license itself or obtaining a vanity callsign. That said, the ARRL VEC advised that if you retake and pass the Technician exam and can provide proof that you previously passed the General class exam (for example, a CSCE or a copy of your General class license), your General class privileges can be reinstated. It may not be the ideal outcome, but it does avoid having to retake both exams.
