Once
you’ve taken your exam, it will take anywhere from five to ten business
days for your new call to be in the FCC’s database. There are
several ways to find your new call or your upgraded privileges. All of
these permit you to enter your name and hit “search.” - You can access the FCC’s database directly.
- You can search the ARRL’s website
- You
can search QRZ.com database for your call, and also post a bio of
yourself with that license. QRZ.com usually has your call posted
within two days of it being assigned by the FCC.
- NOTE: Please do NOT call the ARRL to obtain your call!
If you’re interested in obtaining a “Vanity Call Sign” the ARRL has good information available at http://www.arrl.org/vanity-call-signs.
