Actually a better idea might be to go to the West Tennessee Amateur Radio
Society and scroll down and click on the "Renewing your Amateur Service
FCC license" link in the left hand column. It reprints the directions for
renewing thru the ARRL if a member, getting the 605 from the FCC and step-by
step directions (from the ARRL website) for renewing on line with the FCC.

I do hope Andy finds the a more suitable answer then my misreading of the
original message.

I guess being a Rent-A-Cop means a Usenet Cop as well.

check with the W5YI or the ARRL websites or contact a local VE session
and
pay the fee and the will get it done. The same as if a new or upgrade
license.

Pay the fee?! It's free to renew your ham license (Unless it's a vanity
call).

No, honestly it was toward Andy. I apologize to all. His remark to me got my
goat and I directed my frustration on the net.

Again to all.
Sorry

You are a rent-a-cop? I've been called that on occasion. Guess it must be
the radio and the utility
belt.

Which web browser are you using?

Mozilla and Netscape 7.1 are problematic because the FCC web designers
write specifically for Internet Explorer, not standards-compliant browsers.

The FCC fixed that problem about a year ago.

Netscape 4.75 has worked 100% for me......and NOT using any
BillyBloatWare operating system (my OS is eComStation, an
OEM-enhanced version of IBM's OS/2 Warp professional desktop OS).

The key, though, is the CORES ID and password that the FCC sends by
snail-mail when one registers in the ULS.

To do an address-only change you want to do an Administrative
Update (AU), NOT a Modification. Doing a MOD will screw up the
process royally.

Have fun..... ggg

Phil,

When I registered my wife and myself in CORES, I got to pick my own
password. The system supplied the FRN to me online. Unless it has changed
since early last year.

I agree that if it is administration change not to do a Modification. I
accidentally did one and I received a "update" copy of my license 5 to 10
days (as I remember it). What fun.

Geez. Well, I did a MOD on 3 July for an address change. Will report back
once results arrive to advise how badly it screwed things up.

And then John wrote back once the mailman arrived:
Well, my license with the new address arrived 10 July, 100% accurate - and
I'm on the Left Coast, so they have a very quick turnaround.

No problems from doing MOD rather than AU as far as I could see.

I'm glad that it worked out. I received the above advice from
Darlene Reeder, a good advisor and colleague who was the longtime
chief of the personal radio services license processing section at
the FCC's Gettysburg facility - now retired - when I had to change
the address of three ham licenses (myself and two relatives for whom
I handle the paperwork), two ham club stations for which I am the
trustee, and a GMRS license.

I think we all know by now, Phil, that your recmomendations are either made
on experience, best practice or on expert advice.

As Darlene said, the AU is far less keystroking than the MOD - less
chance for the program to screw something up.

Unquestionably. Next time, will do.

Perhaps the computer programming folks got their act together
during the ensuing time (don't bet on it). Maybe you were just
lucky or skillful.

I think I rolled a natural 20.

Have fun.

Will do!
73s,
