Partial Government Shutdown impacts ham radio

The ARRL reports amateur radio applications piling up as partial Government
Shutdown continues

Volunteer Examiner Coordinators across the US are continuing to receive
paperwork from Amateur Radio exam sessions held during the partial
government shutdown. While it’s still possible to access the Universal
Licensing System (ULS) and file applications, the FCC is not processing
individual, club, and exam session — new and upgrade — Amateur Radio
applications. The FCC closed most operations on January 3, when available
funding ran out.

According to the FCC public notice, aside from a few emergency and
auction-filing systems, all other Commission electronic filing systems will
be unavailable to the public until normal agency operations resume.

“Nothing’s moving until the FCC reopens,� said ARRL VEC Manager *Maria
Somma, AB1FM*. “ARRL VEC continues to enter exam session, individual, and
club license data into the system while we wait for the FCC to reopen and
normal agency operations to resume. We have approximately 1,600
applications and 125 exam sessions waiting in the queue to be processed.
Everything’s in there ready to go.�

Somma stressed that, although license upgrade applications are still on
hold, current FCC Amateur Radio licensees who have successfully upgraded
and hold a Certificate of Successful Completion of Examination (CSCE) may
operate temporarily using the privileges of their new license class, until
their new licenses are granted.
