I decided to finally give the FCC a call this afternoon. They followed up with an email about the procedure. One of the toughest things for me was remembering the password that I used that many years ago associated with my FRN. When I saw that it was a minimum of six characters, that refreshed my memory.
If you are considering this, I would encourage you to minimize your distractions so that you can focus on this. While it certainly is not that difficult, you simply have to do it exactly how they want it done.
And, for those asking, "Why bother?" it was simple for me. I could easily find my amateur radio call sign, because I searched for it by call sign. When I wanted to find my GROL, I don't have that "call sign" memorized. To make matters worse, when I would search by name, it would find my amateur radio, but not my GROL. Now that they are both associated with my FRN, they both show up when I do a search.
Here is what I was sent:
"The information you requested from the FCC can be found below in the body of the email.

Thank You!
