License Renewall?
I have been trying to update my amateur license address, on line, with no
success. I have a FRN number and call sign. I am currently on the FCC records with my old address. Is there a simple method without going thru a third party to update the address? (License does not expire until 2008) Thanks and 73. sarco |
check with the W5YI or the ARRL websites or contact a local VE session and
pay the fee and the will get it done. The same as if a new or upgrade license. chuck "sarco" wrote in message .. . I have been trying to update my amateur license address, on line, with no success.

Find the toll-free telephone number that can be called to request FCC forms. Call the number, and tell them you want form # 605. One or two days later it will be in your mailbox, at no charge. Fill in the form, and send it in. A few weeks later, you'll get your license in the mail, with your new address. You can also download the form at the www.fcc.gov web site in PDF format, print it out, and then fill it out, and mail it in -- but I found it easier to just have them mail the form to me.

No kidding. I admit I didn't catch the part about NOT GOING THRU A THIRD

Actually a better idea might be to go to the West Tennessee Amateur Radio
Society and scroll down and click on the "Renewing your Amateur Service FCC license" link in the left hand column. It reprints the directions for renewing thru the ARRL if a member, getting the 605 from the FCC and step-by step directions (from the ARRL website) for renewing on line with the FCC. I do hope Andy finds the a more suitable answer then my misreading of the original message. I guess being a Rent-A-Cop means a Usenet Cop as well.
