Add mine to the list!

And mine.

Have you decided what sort of rig and antenna you're going to use for
your new ham radio shack? Assuming that your home is in an area that
allows antennas. A simple dipole with a balun used with a modern
transceiver that has an auto antenna tuner would be reasonable first
setup. Later you can try fancier antennas and so on.

Thank you, Dee.

Now, what were you saying about the "ARRL VEC handling
'new' applications 'first?'" I know the package of paperwork
from the Sunday exam session (25th) was sent off quickly.

...back to business as usual in here.

I can say with certainty that I mailed my Feb 23rd materials on Saturday the
24th and all my applicants, both new licensees and upgraders showed in the
FCC database on Feb 27. Since I used priority mail, it was almost certainly
in the ARRL's hands on Monday, Feb 24. Perhaps I was lucky enough to beat
the big surge of submittals and to be on top.

Okay on paying attention to your group. I'm just doubtiing that
the ARRL VEC had the Big Deluge of mail that claimed (but
did not quantify) on their website. That's one reason I did the
tabulation from the FCC Search engine results that started
this thread.

Part of a "deluge" might have been from too many ARRL/VEC
teams adding extra exams on Friday or Saturday, out of the
usual monthly schedules (give or take).

I can understand those with CSCEs wanting to upgrade
(although I don't know why 4 in my exam session thought
they needed that to "modify" their Tech license to a Tech
license under the new rules). :-( There were about 2 who
just needed to change their mailing address, something
which could have been done by mail or by computer
directly...no charge. Judging by all the modifications (not
an upgrade) and the renewals handled by the ARRL, those
could have been done OUTSIDE the need for hand-holding
the free paperwork process on relatively small tasks.

I'm thinking more of the usual "celebrity PR ploy" of the
ARRL "becoming overworked." Not unusual PR tactic.
That kind of PR is done in this city all the time in the
entertainment biz here.

LET THE TURKEYS EAT CROW LENNIE!!! *BIG wide grin

JS, "crow" is too good for them.

Good grief, everyone is making out like that amateur license
test is a *TEST*. It isn't like a whole truckload of college
exams I've taken. It was 120 questions, multiple-choice,
done in three parts...on a Sunday afternoon in an old fire
house now housing part of the Los Angeles Auxilliary
Communications Service, managed by the LAFD. It was
all of a mile and a half from my house, across from a food
market (Ralphs - no apostrophe) where I've shopped for
43 years. Too bad it wasn't snowing or I would have
taken off my shoes like them olde-tymers did. It is
slightly downhill (by about 30 feet) to it, but it IS uphill
coming back.

It wouldn't be so bad if there weren't all these sunsabishes
waiting in the bushes to say I'm a "newbie, tyro, beginner,
etc., etc. in radio." Jay-suss. They can't get a grip, can
they?

Nah...business will return shortly to the usual in here...
like in a few minutes...

It was hot coffee and sweet rolls! "Old Fire House 77" is part of
the L.A. Auxiliary Communications Service partly managed by
the LAFD. There was also a group of that LA Aux that was
meeting about something in another room so there was a nice
spread for everyone. :-) I had one sweet roll, skipped the
coffee in all the "excitement"! Har! I don't like most of the
huge coffee makers' coffee, usually too weak (depending on
the preparer). There was tea also plus de-caf for those needing
something else. If worst came to wurst, I could have walked
across the street to a large Ralphs supermarket and gotten
something. :-)
