Well, since you are famous on Hamsexy I guess that only makes sense that you follow through and got your license. Congratulations.

Congrats OKCCSI. Whats your call sign?

He said he just passed the test on the 9th. I wouldn't think he'd have a callsign yet.

Congrats OKCCSI. Whats your call sign?

Not issues yet. Everyone has told me to expect 6-7 days. Technically, they have like 365 it says, but I know it won't be that long.

Normaly it takes 24 to 48 hr's for his call sign to be issued ....A very good friend of mine use to be a VE and stated all he had to do was go online and enter the info and it was done .

 

[car2back]

yeah check online, it may already be done!

 

[okccsi]

I have been checking. However, the test was on a Thursday night. If they put the info in on Friday, it would Monday before it was issued at the earliest. This is according to the FCC site anyways.

Edit: Just checked again and nothing . I am sure it will be tomorrow. I don't think these guys do it online though. He had a Fedex envelope with him and it looked as if completed items were going in it. If they mailed it in like that, it could be a few more days.

I don't know of any VECs that have their VE teams do the data entry. I volunteer with the Norman club (http://w5nor.org/) and we are accredited with the ARRL VEC. We send the paperwork off to the ARRL VEC via courier. They check all the paperwork and then electronically forward the info to the FCC. Once it's in FCC database, you're good to go (you don't have to wait for the paper any more - another tradition gone!).

Our sessions are on a Thursday night (I missed this month!), and Jim gets them in the mail that night or Friday morning. If it's Express Mail from the Postal Service, it's in Newington Saturday and should be in Monday's batch. Give the FCC a day or two, and it should be in the big database by Wednesday or Thursday (add another day to show up at QRZ.com, et al).

If you count on 10 days from the day of the test, you shouldn't be disappointed (when I took my test in 1991, the wait was 10 *weeks*).

Oh, and congrats!

Congratulations OKCCSI
I'm new here but have been a ham for about 13 years.
In my experience it takes 7 to 10 days for your call to be put into the FCC database.
Maybe the VE team is a little faster where your at and will be in sooner.
I usually check QRZ.COM under the menu of NEW HAMS.
Either way nice job.

Congrats! That's on my "list of things to do this lifetime" but I haven't gotten there yet.

Did you find out your callsign yet?
