Questions
Where does this come from? The FCC's Universal Licensing System (ULS) public files, which the FCC posts every day. Grants usually show up here the morning after the FCC acts.
Does the FCC give out my email? No. The FCC keeps amateur email addresses private. You get alerts only if you sign up here and confirm by email.
What if my call sign changes? Alerts follow your FRN, so a new vanity or sequential call sign is picked up automatically.
How do I renew? See the W5PRO renewal guide. The FCC accepts renewals in the last 90 days before expiration and for 2 years after.
