I wasn't going to get on the band wagon, but, I spent 6.00 to get my renewal
only because it seemed easy quick and something I could put in my list of
done projects.  I got a offer to renew through the mail.  Not a bad
business.  At any rate, I think it took about 6 weeks after sending the
check for the renewal info to come up when I looked up my call sign on
arrl.org.
I was beginning to wonder if I would ever see the update.
