Renewing your amateur radio license is something that happens every ten years and it is rather easy to do it yourself – FOR FREE. I received a mailing from a group that offered to renew my license, that had already been renewed over 30 days earlier, for a fee! I did not find any mention that the renewal could be completed online. A disclaimer would be in order but I guess that would be counterproductive for their “service”. I found this pretty lowly when it really is a free function when you do it yourself. If you are reading this, you can do it yourself
It is rather straight forward to renew your license on the FCC ULS, https://wireless2.fcc.gov/UlsEntry/licManager/login.jsp, just follow the directions. Have your license handy for your 10-digit FCC Registration Number (FRN). It may appear a little over whelming a first but really, just take your time, enter the data and you’ll be on your way. If you are not registered to log into the ULS, again it is a straight forward operation to get set up and get your password.
