Check out »www.ae7q.com/stat/LicenseUSA.php for tracking of sequentially assigned calls. I don't know if there's a difference in a FCC assigned tech or general call. I think they might come from the same pool. There's no difference in a vanity call between a tech and general. Both are eligible for 1x3 calls. Extras are eligible for 1x2/2x1 calls. -- Tweaked your connection? \| Mail Parse \| Speed Converter

drjim Premium,MVM join:2000-06-13 Long Beach, CA kudos:3	reply to neonhomer Your callsign will NOT change unless you either apply for a vanity, or check the box that tells the FCC to assign you a new one. -- One man's Magic is another man's Engineering.

insomniac Oh Yeah Premium join:2002-09-22 Naperville, IL	reply to neonhomer said by neonhomer: Funny thing is, the next local exam session is May 21st. The new question pool takes effect June 2011.... So I don't know if I should wait until after June, or try to get my General before June.... Actually, the new question pool takes effect JULY 1, not June 1. You have another month if you didn't get it over the weekend. -- If everything seems to be going well, you've obviously overlooked something.

neonhomer KK4BFN Premium join:2004-01-27 Edgewater, FL	Took my General on 5/18 at the end of a series of class sessions the local radio club put on. Passed it, missing only 4 questions. Took the extra as well... BOMBED IT!! I just joined the ARRL for a year, and I got a free copy of the Extra Q&A book. Going to read up on that and see if I can get my extra by the end of the summer.... -- "F is for Fire that burns down the whole town... U is for Uranium...... Bombs... N is for NO SURVIVORS!!!!!"

Took the extra as well... BOMBED IT!! Congrats on passing. The biggest change is between Tech & General. Extra is definitely one you need to study hard for. You can't skate by on that one. In my couple years of VE testing, I haven't seen anyone who even attempted to take it without studying pass it and I've seen a bunch that did study and didn't pass it. Much less so on the tech & general tests where it's less intense and if you've familiarized yourself with the material you have a shot. -- Tweaked your connection? \| Mail Parse \| Speed Converter

geeknik join:2000-04-30 Luther, OK	reply to KeysCapt Took the Technician test on 2/4/12. License granted on 2/9/12. Call sign is KF5OIO, I monitor 146.520 in far NorthEast Oklahoma County and am active on the EARS repeater in Edmond, OK at 147.135+ PL100. Radios: FT-60R, FT-2900R Antenna: Dual band open stub Jpole on a 21' mast connected to a MX-72H Duplexer via 50' of LMR-400. Currently studying for the General exam. Going to take that in April. Maybe take the Extra at the same time just because I'll already be there and I might get lucky.

Johnny Premium join:2001-06-27 Atlanta, GA kudos:2	reply to KeysCapt Just passed Extra yesterday with the VEs at the Georgia Tech group. There is a special 4-letter callsign you can get (not the vanity sign) from the "next available Extra callsign list" ? Can anyone tell me where to apply for this? Thanks

DrStrange Technically feasible Premium join:2001-07-23 West Hartford, CT kudos:1 1 edit	Congrats on the upgrade! NCVEC Form 605 has a box to check when you pass Element 4 to request a sequentially issued Extra call. »www.ncvec.org/ncvec605.pdf If you missed it there, upgrade through the ULS. »wireless.fcc.gov/index.htm?job=online_filing FWIW you can't mail NCVEC 605 directly to the FCC. If you do it through the ULS it should only take a day or so.
