73...have a fine day
Fantastic job mate.

Exactly what I needed, thank you sir!!

Thanks Dave, very helpful.
Thank you for the helpful video👍
Thanks for your help.
Thanks
Good job
Thank you, would you know how typo gets a MMSI for a hand held vhf radio?
If I wanted to build an antenna (a fan dipole, or possibly a fan-"dublet" with 450ohm feeder similar to a G5RV???) for my IC-7300 that covered _ALL_ of the bands from 160m down to 6m, how many legs would I need to do? (Do any of the bands double up on any of the fan legs?)
I have an attic space that is ~48' long at the ridgeline that is ~28-30' in the air.
For the longer legs, can I wrap them back around (with spacing) and/or possibly use chokes? If I wrap them back around, how many times can I do that? (effectively ending up with multiple"Zs" in each of the longer legs"
If I use the 450ohm ladder line, how long can it be or should it be before I switch it over to co-ax?
Finally, I can't seem to find consistent data on whether the internal ATU on the IC-7300 can actually tune this type of antenna, how do I determine (specifically) what my SWR is on this antenna (and know that it is below the 7300's 3:1 SWR limit?)
EDIT: Apologies, the TH-cam autoplay advanced me to your next video from the one I had been watching that _had_ been relevant to my question.
Got my FRN while watching the Video! Thanks any thoughts on good online study courses?
What if you already have an FRN number and a call sign, but you want to request a vanity call sign for your ham radio club? I am told that I need to request a separate FRN. Can I use the same email to request one, and how is this process different for a club request?
just wondering when i got my gmrs licence i got my numbers can i use the same numbers they gave me or no
I did the Registering as you said BUT it said something about my SSN is already in the system
where do you take the FRN to get the FCC Radio License?
I didn't realize I already had an FRN number when I got my technician license. I just created a new one not realizing I already had one.
My Call Sign on the FCC database says I already have a FRN. I have no idea how that was created, maybe from when the ARRL renewed my license years ago. But when I try to reset my password it says something I entered is incorrect. As such I am totally locked out and I don't where to go next. Any suggestions? Thanks in advanced.
Never mind. I called the FCC FRN Help Line (877-480-3201) and the lady was very helpful and now I have full access!
I registered, got my email confirmation email, but can't find my FRN. Tried searching 'By Registered Individual' but don't know what it wants as 'Doing Business As???
I am having the same issue. Any luck figuring out how the search the FCC website and locating your number?
@Brent_Smith It's been so long that I forgot how I finally found it. I think I figured it out with the help of another YT video.
Fcc full from???

I don’t understand why the fcc won’t issue me an FRN, I jumped through the hoops, dotted my i’s and crossed my t’s and will not issue me a number. I’m not a felon, I’m a honorable discharged vet, I studied and was prepared to take the technicians test , then find out they won’t issue me a number and they won’t tell me why. 😮
why would you crave a license then?? you a vet? operate illegally with freedom as a American. when shit hits the fan, and it will. there will be no license requirement. so take this time to understand the craft. learn and listen. and transmit what you want as long as you are not being a nuisance on the air. the fcc will not go after you. unless you start a illegal radio station or interrupt emergency coms
I will tell you that as of February 2024 when you go to that website none of it is how it is displayed in this video the easy access thing I could not find I tried to look in the search bar and they made it extremely difficult there they being the government
At 6:13 FALSE! Does not ask for your address. It asks for a country code, phone number and a test question and answer.
at 6:40 FALSE! Clicking "continue" instructs you to VALIDATE your email by clicking on a link sent to you by the FCC. THAT then will bring you to the choice "Go to CORES"
I had to do a few stupid photo CAPCHAS(choose all buses, etc)
@ 7:24 FALSE! I was already automatically logged in at this point.
Need help to get my frn
OK, this is all b/s. The FCC bureaucrats have set up a typical 'government' type system without considering (as usual) that real life is more complicated than their assumptions.
Heh, I'm a Brit. I live in Airstrip One. I have a UK licence. If and whenever the RSGB start to have conventions again I expect they will offer US Licence exams there - as they have previously done. So I'm 'non domestic' for the FCC. Do I need a FRN (expecting yes) to take the exam? How do I get one? No, I don't have a US SSN!
If you have a ready answer I'd like to hear it, otherwise don't bother - life is too short for government b/s!

It seems nobody has answered this question after 7 months, so I'll comment -- partly in the hope you can enlighten me on some things. As much of a history buff as I am I've never heard of the UK referred to as Airstrip One (I had to look it up, now I know where the term comes from.)
I'm curious as to why a "Brit" living in the UK would need (or want) an American license to operate in the UK.
While I can't claim to know the answer to your question for sure, I'd be willing to bet my entire fortune that it's impossible to take the U.S. licensing exam without an FRN. See, I've dealt with governments before, too. This isn't me being a pessimist, but someone who understands bureaucracy.
Cheers.
It's too much trouble
Thanks Dave, you are awesome! 73 W3GUY
