If you already have a FCC license of any type, and then pass the ham test, make sure you use the same name as your other FCC licenses!!!!! Otherwise it will be flagged becasue your SSN and name don't match. I had to call the FCC and explain this to them before I was issued my ham call.

Welcome! When I first received my license in 2000, the FCC was completely redoing their computer system and it took just over 2 months for them to issue me a callsign!

Congrats on your new license! I passed my Tech test this morning (4-24) and was told that my call sign should appear in the data base by Thursday (4-29). I hope my VE was right. Again, I offer my congrats.

Tech or general? What are you going to be running for gear when you make it into the database?

Welcome to the hobby,

Just as and update-license was entered into FCC database on 5/21- after emailing one of the VEC's who called the FCC- originally someone at the FCC entered my FRN number incorrectly- invalid number-application was denied- rectified by the VEC- many thanks!
