I got my first license (Novice) Spring of 1968.... Tec in the fall, later changed to Tec + when they came out with No-Doce Tec.
Did not upgrade to General (Even if all it took was filling out a form) till Spring of 2006, and Extra that Thanksgiving.
Problem with being an Exta... Nothing to upgrade to.
Oh by the way. Congratulations on making it. Enjoy the extra bandwidth!.
(You see, that is why I had to upgrade. My radio (The TS-2000 I got about an hour after I upgraded to general) did not have the proper General Class band limits. So I had to fix it,, The easiest way to do that was to UPGRADE to Extra. )
