How long is it taking the FCC to issue new ham licenses nowadays? *Is it
still on the order of a few weeks? *Maybe he'll be getting a 2x2 or a
2x3...
Since the FCC now permits the VECs to directly enter the data in the
database, it's simply a matter of how quickly the VEC organization can check
the paperwork. *These days it runs about 1/2 week to 1&1/2 weeks. *In
anticipation of getting an unusually high number of submittals, the ARRL at
least put on extra staff to handle this. *I had the test session the evening
of Feb 23. *Reviewed and mailed the paperwork on Feb 25. *Both the new
licenses and the upgrades appeared in the FCC database at the end of the day
on Feb 27th. *This is actually faster than usual.
Vanity license applications take several weeks though.
A vanity license application requires an already-granted
amateur radio license. New licensees will take longer to
process, both at the ARRL (for ARRL VEC) and at the
FCC.
