After a very quick read, it looks like the main points are: 1) When a license is expired beyond the two year grace period, the person will still have to take element 2 (Tech exam), but will get credit for element 3 if they were a General or Advanced (or had passed the Tech when it was the General with 5wpm code) and credit for element 4 if they were an Extra. 2) The number of required VEs remains at 3 3) Remote testing sessions (via audio/video) are acceptable provided that they meet the regulations set out for the session by the sponsoring VEC. It appears that the FCC is looking to the VECs to approve remote sessions on a case by case basis rather than a blanket procedure? 4) The DMR modulation is addeded to the rules.
