Took my general class license test.

Study online. Take practice tests and go get yours!

I took my exam last Saturday May 18th 2013.

I can start transmitting as soon as my name appears in the FCC database.

It is now May 24th and the call sign is still not available in the database.

If you are waiting also all I can say is that 6 Days is not long enough.

As I left the test site they were telling people “about ten days”.

In today’s digital world how can it really take ten days?

It must be related to the word “Federal” in the FCC database.

Anyhow I am only posting this for reference. As soon as my name shows up in the database I’ll post my call sign along with the actual amount of time it took.

UPDATE:

Found my call sign. I searched by Zip code with technician class only and walked through the list. I was in the database wrong as michael r, wayne r. Hopefully they can update that information quickly.
