I know that I didn't.

That was N2EY's gig.

He posted about it a week or so ago, but it got buried under the rubble
of the Robesin wars.

he did not declare a winner

It hasn't been posted in the Fed Register yet... that could take
another 3 years...

While that is possible, it is much more likely (based on past history) that
it will be published in the Federal Register within 30 days of having been
posted on the FCC site. That would make it January 18 for publication. Then
it would normally be effective 30 days after that, which would make the
effectivity date February 17.

Or they may decide to get all their work caught up for the end of the year
and it could go into effect sooner.

Either way, I've got my VE team lined up with additional members in case we
get an unusually large number of applicants in Feb, Mar, & Apr. After that
it should settle down to the normal or only slightly higher than normal
number of applicants.
