If anybody needs study guides I stumbled across "The No-Nonsense (Tech/General/Extra) Class License Study Guide" by Dan Romanchik KB6NU. That along with the free test apps for iPhone and I was all set.

Congrats, from KK4TTR! My wife is KK4TTQ, but then, she's cuter than me.
Taking the general Sept 28 if all goes well, still evalutating HT and mobile.
Thanks! NCGunDude, what part of NC? TTR and TTQ? When were you licensed? Recently I'd guess with those calls.

Took the exam on Aug 31. Located in Raleigh.
Still researching gear, most likely cheap chinese HT's and a decent mobile, maybe Yaesu.
The tri band and quad band Yaesu's look good, too. Saw a good review on the quad band.
Good deal. Yup, I have a Baofeng on the way, a UV-5R. I'm looking for a sub $500 10/6/2/220/440/1200 mobile. I think it's gonna be a long search.
Congrats on passing the exam!
That's a cool callsign, especially if you like the Linux mascot, Tux. Here's Tux wearing Ham gear.
Enjoy,

Oh, the Linux penguin is named Tux? I was not aware, but I am now. I am more than satisfied with this call. If I get into QSL cards they will definitely have a tuxedo worked in somewhere. I don't think I'll test my lunch with the Linux copyright though.
How did you find about the call sign so quick???
I took the test 9/8/13 and have not received anything
Checked FCC ULS and there is no listing
I emailed the VEC the following day to simply confirm that I didn't need to file anything myself and his response was to the effect of, I" submitted it this morning and you are KK4TUX." I think they can submit digitally or through the mail. Maybe yours went in the mail box and just showed up at FCC yesterday or today. I'm not sure if I can even look mine up by my name yet, but if I enter the call sign it pulls me right up.

Congrats, to the new Hams. Welcome to the wonderful of Ham radio! Hope catch you on the air.
LCRay, you might be able to find it here. http://wireless.fcc.gov/uls/index.htm?job=transaction&page=daily
I can't download the files on my phone. It looks like you can look at submitted applications and granted licenses.

That makes sense. I didn't think it out.
Thanks but I think the ARRL/VEC here sends the results to ARRL in CT and they submit to the FCC
So it will likely be a few more days before I am listed

I heard you check into the Say Good Morning with Radio net this morning. Welcome. (I was the one that fished your callsign out of the noise.)
Welcome to the hobby.
