Howdy! FNG ova heeya

Hi, folks.
I’m a brand new tech.
I have a couple Yaesu HT’s (FT-65 and FT1XD) and a TYT 8600 mobile/base, so I’m modestly-but-functionally equipped at this juncture.
If I may ask: I passed my test on 11/11. Would anyone have any thoughts on the amount of lag time before a call sign is issued?
I tried looking on the ULS database search but only got a, “404 forbidden” message(?).
Much head-scratching.
(BTW I suspect this same question has been asked a metric ton of times so I apologize if that turns out to actually be the case.)
Thank ya!

How are you searching the ULS? Go to the license search and enter your FRN. You do have an FRN, correct?

Yessir, had to get an FRN before I could take the test.
Regarding it’s entry into the search criteria, I couldn’t get that far. Clicking on the ULS took me straight to the “403 forbidden” page.

UPDATE: I’d been trying on my ipad. Inexplicably, an attempt using my phone got me through the search.

KE8QAC available for CQR, over.

Thanks for weighing in to help.

Many VE teams prefer that you register with the FCC and get your FRN before the test session so that they do not have to ask you to reveal your SSN.
