    How to Renew your FCC Amateur Radio Licenses though the FCC. This wasn't as straight forward process and there are two hops you need to jump through to complete this process. Let me show you how i renewed my FCC Amateur Radio Licenses.

    it is not as hard as it appears......if you know how to move about the uls system.
    no need to reinvent the wheel

    FYI

    THE OFFICE OF MANAGING DIRECTOR ANNOUNCES IMPLEMENTATION OF ADDITIONAL SECURITY SAFEGUARDS FOR USERS OF FCC’S COMMISSION REGISTRATION SYSTEM (CORES)

    I fought through this process twice in the past year or so. The first time (mine) it took about 2 hours.

    The second time (daughter) it took half a day with multiple calls to FCC. The first two reps we talked to couldn’t figure it out. Number 3 rep knew about a work-around on their end that made it work. Very frustrating.

    Glad W5YI is back in the renewal process. That’s good news. Sure wish they had been last year. $45 admin processing fee for a once-in-a-decade process is something I would have gladly paid.

    One more thing in life that was transformed from easy to not.

    Well, we have to give big applause for tax dollars making things harder! That's "bureaucrat 101" all in the name of "progress". ;)

    Amazing.....Renewed my Wife's license about a month ago,
    using the ULS system. No problem that I came across!!
    People make it more difficult than it actually is.
    Took a little over a half hour.
    Happy renewals.....Ken

    Maybe next year the amateur radio bands will just be sold off for somebody’s personal profit.

    This is not hard...You only need a pulse and the ability to read and comprehend the English language to renew your license.

    I renewed mine last week. Took about 10 minutes. Application was approved, and my license was extended for another 10 years the next day.

    Guess they have to make up for no longer producing Gordon West products. $45 fee to do you can do for one's self for free.

    I must be missing something or my recent renewal didn't actually happen. I'm at a loss of what even vaguely is the problem.

    Oh, well. Back to the happy-happy-joy-joy of everything Boeing keeps dropping on my plate.
