By the way, if you don't have an FRN, you need to get one and have
it associated with your call. See the Universal Licensing System
web page (it's part of the FCC site) on getting one. You should
take care of that now. Then you can get a password and renew
online.

Great! Thanks for the tip. I just signed up for my FRN, and archived
the info, so a month from now when I can renew. Done and done!

I would like to encourage people who read this and think, "Oh, that
must be complicated" to actually go to the FCC web site, as Dee
suggested and Paul did, and register. It's a very simple procedure.
This is one of those excruciatingly rare occasions when you really do
get something for nothing. (Oh, wait. Taxes. Right. I *am* paying
for that FCC web site, after all.)

Yeah, I can second that. It took me about 30-45 seconds after I found
the link off the arrl.org home page. Just for the permanent record,
here's the address you go to:

http://wireless.fcc.gov/uls/index.htm?job=home

And just follow the instructions there. It took me about 5 minutes
start to finish.
