Subj : Callsign Updates

According to FoxNews on Jan. 25, 2019, there has been an agreement to
end the government shut down (at least for now). However, we may be
right back at square one on Feb. 15, 2019, three weeks from now, with
another "government shutdown".
Now that the shutdown is over (at least for now), there is a huge amount
of a backlog of data to get into the FCC ULS, from the various VEC's. I
just hope the FCC's computers don't crash with all the influx of exam
session data!!
***
If you, as an amateur radio operator do NOT know when your ham radio
license is to expire, YOU NEED TO STOP WHAT YOU ARE DOING, AND FIND OUT
NOW!!
If your license lapsed (was expired more than 2 years from Dec. 22,
2018 until now), you are going to have to "start over"...as you have LOST
your license and callsign...and will have to, AT MINIMUM, take the
Technician Class exam.
You will get a new callsign about 1 to 2 weeks AFTER the exam session...
unless another government shutdown has taken hold. Then, you will have to
WAIT EVEN LONGER to get back on the air. Plus, if you had a "highly sought
after callsign", it's likely that someone else will have snatched it up
through the Vanity Callsign system, and you will NOT be able to get it
back. In short, you have no one to blame but yourself, for not keeping
track of when your ham radio license expired or lapsed.

Amateur Radio Operators, prospective and current, are asked to be
patient, due to the delay in license processing. I hope to have a "fresh
post" sometime on Tuesday, Feb. 5, 2019.
For now, for reference purposes, these are the latest callsigns that
were issued before the FCC shut down, as of the date noted below.
***
Amateur Radio Callsign Update from the FCC as of Jan. 2, 2019. These
are in "sequential" format, and do not necessarily include "vanity
callsigns".
Data is from the HamData.Com website at www.hamdata.com/fccinfo.html --
so, check that, in case typographical errors are in this message.
In some regions, all the sequential callsigns have been issued, so
other callsign groups are being noted as well. The first 2 entries
for regions 0 through 9 are for Technician or General class licensees
(starting with a K), and then for Amateur Extra Class licensees
(starting with an A).
The regions are noted as per Appendix 2, in Part 97 of the FCC Rules.
Lastly, eventually, the FCC will no longer accept Social Security Numbers
on an NCVEC Form 605 -- one will have to obtain an FRN from the FCC CORES
website PRIOR to going to a license exam session...or they will NOT be
able to take the license exam.
