Congrats on passing your exam! Also keep in mind over on QRZ Forums, your callsign will be fed through to QRZ Callsign database via FCC ULS database it normally takes up to 24hrs to 48hrs to show up in the database.

Not bad. Now you get to start thinking of 'custom' phonetics for it. How about "King Kong 4"...and then whatever you think you can get away with? I had 'KAT', "Kiss And Tell", for a while, then 'AN', "Awful Nasty", too. Using those kind of phonetics isn't recommended, but they do help remembering call signs. They don't have to 'make sense'...

Quick Question Sub...How long did it take before you were in the FCC Database? So far I'm not there ...yet...LOL

 

[acyddrop]

It can take as little as one day or as much as two weeks. When searching the ULS I suggest using the Advanced search for Amateur radio and searching your zip code and last name. If you go to the ULS and search on your name it's far to unwieldy to deal with; also you may not find yourself.

You want to go here:
License Search - Amateur License Search

And put your ZIP and last name in and search for "active" instead of All, though you can search for all too.

Thanks Sub still not there yet I guess the mailing system is slower.

Hey Michael,
I took the test on Saturday and the call sign was in the FCC database on Wednesday morning. I would call them if it has been more than 2 weeks.
Good luck,
