Dan,

I did it on line (Kinky) and received my paper copy in about a week, and
this was by doing a MOD.

Have fun..... ggg

Geez. Well, I did a MOD on 3 July for an address change. Will report
back
once results arrive to advise how badly it screwed things up.

Well, my license with the new address arrived 10 July, 100% accurate -
and
I'm on the Left Coast, so they have a very quick turnaround.

No problems from doing MOD rather than AU as far as I could see.

I'm glad that it worked out. I received the above advice from
Darlene Reeder, a good advisor and colleague who was the longtime
chief of the personal radio services license processing section at
the FCC's Gettysburg facility - now retired - when I had to change
the address of three ham licenses (myself and two relatives for whom
I handle the paperwork), two ham club stations for which I am the
trustee, and a GMRS license.

As Darlene said, the AU is far less keystroking than the MOD - less
chance for the program to screw something up.

Perhaps the computer programming folks got their act together
during the ensuing time (don't bet on it). Maybe you were just
lucky or skillful.

Have fun.

I let the ARRL do it for me. They got it changed on the FCC data base but
still no hard copy license. Been about a month now. Just how long does
it
normally take to get the paper ticket?
