Look at that license

Amateurs receiving new or modified FCC licenses after June 8, 1994,
should carefully note their expiration date.  Only new, first
licenses or specific renewals have a full 10-year term.

Amateur license upgrades, changes of address, call sign, or name,
are processed with the original expiration date intact.  That is,
they are not automatically extended for 10 years.

The FCC, using new computer software recently installed, is
processing amateur licenses in this manner to conform with to the
way in which it processes all other Private Radio Service licenses.

The FCC currently recommends that amateurs submit license renewal
applications 60 to 90 days before their expiration date.  The
Commission said it intends eventually to mail license expiration
notices to amateurs,  In the meantime, the ARRL is sending license
expiration notices to ARRL members, along with an FCC Form 610 and a
return envelope to the FCC's licensing division in Gettysburg,
Pennsylvania.
