Welcom, Darren:
Check with the team that administered your test. Lately, many VECS post
results to the FCC at the test location site or when they get home. I have
seen licenses posted on Tuesday following a Sunday test session.
I am on a 220 Net at present so listening and writing at the same time. I
received my first license in 1977 so it may be older than you!
Where are you in 4 land? I was born in Orlando, Florida and the rest of the
family in Florida.
If I don't see a posting here to your questions, I will write again. I
know of at least one Web Site where a repeater directory is posted along
with AM, FM, and TV stations.
Congratulations and 73:
Bob Martin
