I did it on line in 2006 with a little help from Avery at Handihams, but 
once you get your password, if you don't already know it, it's just like 
doing anything else on the web, and screen readers have improved greatly 
since 2006.

Roger on both the ease of updating, and the niner's win.  Having
worked at Cal, I knew of Aaron Rogers so I would have been
alright with a Green Bay win as well and kind of expected that,
but good old Cap really stepped up along with the rest of the
guys.  I also updated my information  on the FCC site after first
trying it on qrz.com which proved to be a disaster.  The FCC site
worked great.  Jim WA6EKS now showing as being in Martinez CA.

Subject: updating information on-line!

Hi all! you all know I got the vanity call sign, K 6 V F O, last
summer and how jazzed I was about that.  We moved to California
just
a couple months ago and now, just as of a few minutes ago, I was
able
to, quite easily, update my license with my new address, and that
is
free with the FCC registration number and their ULS, (universal
licensing system) so speech friendly.
I did it with Window-Eyes and IE10 which works with windows 7,
and am
sure it works with all the other screen readers as well, but it
got
me to thinking, of how it wasn't that long ago that such was not
the
case with us blind folks, to fill out applications as such
on-line
was just not only available, it was daunting to the extreme
consider
all of what had to be done to modify, let alone apply for the
vanity
call sign I did last summer.
So, I am celebrating a couple things; (1) my license update, and
(2)
the 49ers advance in the playoffs, though I did route for the
Packers
last weekend.  I am totally surprised they won that game last
evening
in San Francisco, so we'll see whether they play the Falcons or
the
Seahawks next week, either in Atlanta or San Francisco.
