Subj : Callsign Updates

Amateur Radio Callsign Update for the U.S. and its territories, from
the FCC as of Feb. 7, 2020. 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.
Note that, 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. Some VE Teams ALREADY REQUIRE an
FRN at the exam session; check with your local VE Team before exam day.
Also, some VE Teams may have a way for you to obtain an FRN at the exam
session (i.e. via a laptop computer and Wi-Fi connection), but that's
NOT guaranteed.
An informative New Users Guide on getting started with the Universal
Licensing System (ULS) is at:
fcc.gov/new-users-guide-getting-started-universal-licensing-system-uls
You can get an FRN and password at this URL, and it'll help you get
your license faster. You will have to provide your Social Security
Number to get an FRN. Once you have the FRN, though...it is yours FOR
LIFE...even if your amateur radio operator license lapses (is expired
more than 2 years). Once you have the FRN, do NOT use your Social
Security Number on the NCVEC Form 605, or the FCC will reject the
form, delaying processing of your amateur radio license.
Note that the FCC no longer mails out licenses, and you'll need to
supply an email address on the NCVEC Form 605.
Lastly, current amateur radio operators requesting a callsign change,
or new amateur radio operators, must answer "The Felony Question" on the
NCVEC Form 605, stating whether or not you've been convicted of a felony
in state or federal court.
A "YES" response is NOT an automatic disqualification, but it depends
upon the circumstances surrounding the conviction.
Details are available on the back of the form, available at:

Note that any NCVEC Form 605's dated PRIOR to September, 2017 are
INVALID, and will NOT be accepted by the FCC.
