I passed my ham general test last weekend, and I have been waiting for the upgrade to show up. Granted, I can /AG until then, but I feel bad for the dude who passed his technician test and can't do a thing yet.

That might cause a problem now, but he had his GMRS callsign wrong, like Rich explained. The fact that he had a call sign at all demonstrates that the ULS system was working at that moment. He just mistook the fourth letter ‘I’ for a numeral ‘1’.

Since June 9. I don’t know if this is related to the Russian criminal hack of the US government computers: ” FCC ULS down, Amateurs Unable to Submit Applications, Filing Deadlines Extended The FCC Universal Licensing System (ULS) has been experiencing an outage since Friday, June 9, 2023. Amateur licensees are unable to submit applications or process renewals. Filing deadlines have been extended. The FCC has been communicating updates with VECs, including ARRL VEC about the situation, which remains fluid. As of late afternoon on Thursday, June 15, 2023 the FCC had no timeline for when the ULS would be back online. For the latest information, watch the ARRL News feed. The story about the issue posted there will remain updated with the latest information.”

Newington CT June 14, 2023 To all radio amateurs SB QST ARL ARLB010 ARLB010 FCC Universal Licensing System Applications Are Unavailable It went down for "scheduled maintenance" on the 9th, was supposed to be back up on Monday the12th, but never came back. I'd been watching closely for my own upgrade to show up (passed for general on the 3rd, tried extra on a whim, but came up short). Some of the batch processing feeds made it out because it wasnt showing on the 8th (Thursday) and I missed checking on the 9th before it went down, but the update has hit QRZ.

Again you can borrow the anytone. Jack knows a lot about 11m, so consult with him before you jump. Sent from my SM-S901U using Tapatalk

I have the Cobra 29 LTD Classic Nightwatch AM/FM and I haven't heard anyone on FM yet. It's almost non-existent on AM these days.

Also have a 10m hamstick on a quick disconnect. It will tune 11m just fine. Sent from my SM-S901U using Tapatalk
