I got my first class phone ticket in 1949. My house was destroyed
recently my tickets and degrees went with it.

Commercial tickets have been converted to non-expiring "General
Radiotelephone Operator Licenses". The FCC maintains a list of the
commercial licenses it has issued.

When I wrote the FCC requesting a replacement certificate, they
responded saying my request had been "dismissed". Then I wrote to The
W5YI Group which advertises in QST. They said to send them $20 and
within a few days my replacement "General License" arrived from the FCC
in the mail. I highly recommend their service! Their address is:
W5YI Group
P.O. Box 565101 Dallas, TX 75356

I had been issued First Class Radiotelephone License No. P1-9-12391 in
April 1949.

W5YI Group also got me a new copy of my KB5WZI Amateur License which had
also been destroyed. I believe their fee for that was $7.5o. All this is
very reasonable considering the hassle of trying to deal directly with
the FCC.

Fortunately, my university says it encourages the display of degrees and
will glady replace them at no charge.

Best regards, Richard Harrison, KB5WZI

One place I worked at stole mine right off the wall before firing me
"because they couldn't throw me in jail for anything". I simply reported
the theft to the FCC and they gave me a new certificate with a new number.
Ever since then, I would only display a copy stamped COPY, but I won't even
do that any more because some one might try to use it. Someone tried that
once and got caught. Stupid is trying to send in a bogus application to the
FCC. Some one tried that once and FCC mailed it back to me asking if I knew
anything about it. Ye haw! It's like going into a doctor's office for an
examination and telling them you need the prescription "for a friend". It's
like pulling a gun on a cashier and saying "I don't want to hurt anyone".
