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 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!

I did it direct through the FCC website, and the next day it was
updated in the online database, and they also mailed the new one.

This was a couple of years ago.

Dan,

I did it on line (Kinky) and received my paper copy in about a week, and
this was by doing a MOD.
