How do you renew a license these days?

I sent a ncvec 605 to the FCC and they sat on it for two months and
then sent it back

``The Federal Communications Commission does not accept the NCVEC
Form 605. Please mail this form to your local volunteer examiner.''

I haven't the foggiest idea what they're talking about.

You can send $10 or so to the ARRL or,

1. Go to the FCC web site.

2. Create an ID number and password for yourself.

3. Attach your ham radio license to the ID number.

4. Renew your license.

5. Pay the necesary fees (vanity calls), regular licenses are free.

Note that the license must expire in 90 days or less, or be expired
less than 2 years.

I've watched "The Passion". It's the worst version of MacBeth I've ever seen.

Thanks, I tried online and it worked.
I _guess_ it worked anyway.

Or go to www.qrz.com and do it there. Or if your a league member, its
free to have them do it.

You're welcome. If it worked, you should be able to go the the inquiry
page and see the new expiration date. Note that QRZ.com, etc don't directly
mirror the database, they get nightly updates, so they will be a day or
two behind.

You can do it the painless way -- see W5YI service (a small fee) at URL:
https://www.w5yi.org/Secure/Renew.htm

Or plow thru the FCC stuff via the ARRL Page:

I was tempted but don't like spreading around my SS number if it's avoidable.
We'll see if the FCC site version worked or not.

Acording to the FCC database, W8LVI expires 03/15/2014.
QRZ still has the old date.
