  • License renewal

    From bamageek@432:1/100 to All on Wed Oct 23 20:00:09 2024
    Hey guys,

    I just renewed my amateur license last month and it just hit me that I didn't get a new license in the mail. I was able to log on and print one, but I like the one they send on the pretty paper to hang up. Do they not send those out anymore?

    The FCC no longer sends paper licenses. You have to print your own.

    Nope. That's actually one of the questions on the Tech exam now.

    When you get the emali notice that is also the only time you get access to the printable one that doens't have the reprint writing on it.

    In 2017 when I printed my ticket out on plain paper the words "Official Copy" appear diagonally from Top Left to Bottom Right on it.
