After taking test? I passed Technician and General February 19. How do you know where to look?
Thanks!
You have to wait until you have the license in your possession IIRC, but while you're waiting for the mail, you can go to QRZ.com and type in your full name instead of a callsign and if it lists your name & address then it's probably right
When I renewed in 2008, it was on computer and I printed out my new license. I don't know how it works now for new licenses though.
Congratulations on passing Tech & General at once! I myself took an unusual route into my first ham radio license.
You had six different licenses at the time, Novice, Technician, Technician Plus, General, Advanced, and Extra. Most people started off with Technician, as it was the only class to not require Morse code testing at the time. Technician consisted of the Novice and Technician written exams, but didn't require the 5 WPM Novice Morse exam, which was required for the Novice HF privileges. Technicians who took the Novice Morse exam and had the Novice HF privileges were known as "Technician Plus" - yes, this is synonymous with Technician today.
But anyway, unlike most who started with the Technician, I started out with the Technician Plus, taking the 5 WPM Morse exam on the same night
One year later, I got my General Class, which had a 13 WPM requirement (which I failed the first time IIRC).
Another unusual thing, I hadn't hit the 10th grade yet! But I loved listening to scanners and shortwave growing up, and managed to keep the radio stuff going, even with the Internet. Took a break from ham radio in college but that was it.
Have fun!
