It's not likely to get fixed by itself. It could be an error at either
the
FCC or the VEC. Call both.

Thanks... I called the FCC and the paperwork was filed electronically. The
personal I spoke with at the FCC did mention a "modification" that she
though had to be filed after the original Tech application was submitted.
I'm not sure if this is the case, but I'm in process of contacting the VEC.

I think that what may have happened is that since you're a totally new
licensee, they may have issued the Tech as the first action, then input
the
Extra as an upgrade (which FCC calls a modification). In that case,
the licenses could arrive days or even weeks apart.

This raises a question about "new licenses" numbers. If in Design Guy's
case,
FCC first issued a Tech and then modified it to Extra, even though he
passed
all four elements at one go, the numbers may show his new license as
Tech
rather than Extra.

for prehaps a few days, affecting a few number here and there

Your point if you please?

I wonder how many others who went straight to General or Extra have
been classified that way.
