The Waiting is the Hardest Part
My buddy Shannon took his first amateur radio licensing test last Tuesday. We spent weeks trying to find him an exam session, jumping from club to club. We successfully found a VE session 50 miles from him. He passed both the Tech and General exams with flying colors! The VEs told him it would take 7 to 10 days before the FCC would post his license on their website. That was surprising to me, as I had seen the W5YI group get me a club call in two days within the last year. Oh well, technology does change and sometimes not for the better.
And then, 7 days later, Shannon sends me this link this morning: FCC not processing test results
What bum luck he has! Hopefully the fine folks in IT will get the problem solved quickly. A new ham awaits his call!
