The other day I was pondering as to when I received my first amateur radio license. I knew it was early 90’s and I assumed since there is a 10 year renewal on licenses and my current one expires 2\/2\/2023 that it had to be close to that date in probably 1993. I started with the ARRL license lookup and it provided my last renewal information from 2012. I then went to the FCC ULS system and saw the exact same info as the ARRL.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It took me some time but there is a way to get the information. You have to do a ULS License Archive search which as of now is at: https:\/\/wireless2.fcc.gov\/UlsApp\/LicArchive\/searchArchive.jsp<\/a>. Here you will find all the renewals and modifications to your license over the years. I was able to confirm that my license was actually issued on 2\/2\/1993. I could also see the renewal applications approx ever 10 years as well as my address changes. Not super exciting but it was interesting that it was not as simple as I thought it would be to find an original issue date.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The other day I was pondering as to when I received my first amateur radio license.
