          Wyndell,

          Yes, good stuff. I had seen that license generator before but had forgotten where it was. Ironically your links tie nicely into a new piece I literally just posted up on the site a few minutes ago. From the home page it is under the “Library” menu item and is titled How to obtain an official copy of your FCC license.

          FCC no longer just mails a license to hams. If anyone needs a no kidding official copy of their license it is a little hard to dig out how to do it. At the link How to obtain an official copy of your FCC license I have step-by-step instructions with images showing exactly how to do it.

          Need one printed out to put in a frame? Need one printed out and laminated for your wallet? Need to replace a yellowed, torn, whatever copy that you have in a drawer? Just follow the steps at the link above and you can download it as a PDF. Best of all – It is an official copy, not a reference copy.

          Enjoy,

          Phillip

              Thanks Phillip!  Of course they raised prices and reduced services…
