I could'nt see it with my old Commodore128.  W5YI use to take care
of FCC ham license renewals for $5 as I recall.   I wonder if he
still does that as my Ticket expires in 2006.    If noone can lead

Hi Joe...Just go to QRZ.com and do a lookup on your call and do a renew
license and it will take you to the W5YI site...I think that it is now
$6.00
To do it...You can also go to www.w5yi.com and do it there...Fred sold
The W5YI group a few years ago  but it is still a great company...

Hello Brad,

The only thing wrong with the FREE FCC "Online" system is the fact that 
they need the FRN number and some of us are reaching the age that 
another number will drive us over the edge to complete insanity..  
Thanks for the reminder..

Boy do I understand this logic.  But the sad fact is that if W5YI does it, 
you will be assigned an FRN or you can register and get it yourself.    Or 
contact the ARRL should you be a member.  In the past they would renew your 
license for you at no charge except for any vanity charges.

Once you have the FRN, it is really easy to renew.  You may have an FRN now. 
Look on your present license just above the line marked "Special 
Conditions/Endorsements.  It may already be there.  If so, go the FCC 
website and follow the simple directions.

If you don't already have an FRN you can do that too from our link on the
WEB site .... once you get it write it on your license or license copy and
you'll be set from now on!! 

Was only trying to help....

Joe ...
I checked your page on QRZ, and you do have an FRN number, so all you 
need to do it file for renewal.  If you use the FCC site, it may even 
fill in some of the information for you. 

If you'd like, I'll be happy to file the form for you at no charge.  
(W5YI now charges $8.00.) All you need to do is provide me with the 
information.  Your license expires November 4, 2006, so you have a whole 
year.

Joe....why are you making this so complicated?
No reason whatsoever that you have to pay someone to renew your license.
It can be renewed in just several minutes by just going to the FCC website 
and filling in a few spaces.
If you wish, I will be glad to do it for you if you give me all the 
pertinent information.

Bob,
Tnx for the URL but that site has the "click on graphic" which I cant
do to retrieve his email address.   The old Commodore128 can do most
things with its browser and shell email program, but any kind of
IBM grafix and clicking on same is not an option on this ancient
machine.   Thats why wondered if someone with a PC could obtain his
email addr.  In any event I mailed him a letter yesterday to his
Postal address so I will be hearing from him directly once he gets
my letter with my email addr in it.

Hi Mort,

Still in the frozen North (had sleet today!), but hope to get down early
in the new year.  Will look forward to one of your monthly luncheons
then.

I tried all the leads to get email to W5HI  (Fred Maia) but all rejected.
fmaia@texas.net  apparently is not a valid email addr and has rejected
3 times when I try to query him about renewing my license for a fee!
Could it be that he is a SK??

As been said before, unless you want the convenience of someone else doing
it for you, or your computer is old enough that it is difficult to click on
links on the internet, it is FREE if you do your own renewal through the FCC
web site.  And the FRN information should be on the license or if you view
your information at any of the popular look up sites, or the FCC data base,
you will find the FRN associated with your call sign.

Fred sold the W5YI group several years ago and I don't believe the he is
involved any more.  Why don't you goto the W5YI.org web site.  The

Hi Joe...
   I don't have any skinny for W5YI, but I do know that you can renew it 
yourself, for free, in the FCC website.  I've done it for myself and another 
ham here in town.  It was bit of an effort the first time, but if I could 
figure it out, 99.9% of everyone else can!

Let me know if I can help giude you through it.

He has already mentioned previously, and no one seems to be picking up 
on it, that he uses an very old computer which is not able to run 
software which will do many things now on websites, or he would have 
already done it on the FCC's site.

Though I would think there should be another ham local who could do it 
for him given all pertainent information.

Geez thanks a lot Norm.    I knew someone from QCWA would jump in either
you or Bob.   I can only remember that I did'nt know how to use uls
10 years ago and had a friend who uses a PC to do it for me.  I was
75 then and now at 85 nothing is improved upstairs.

Do you have a public library around that has internet access?
That'll do it.

Thanks Paul Im getting near my target now.  Got a feedback email addr
and sent them a req for a form 605 via snail mail and instructions
as to where to send the filled out form.
(gosh whats gonna  happen down the road when internet is the only
  means of access to anything)_!!!  Its rapidly approaching that right now
as far as I can see.  Most 85 year olds and 90 year olds will have to
go back to a donkey and a cart to get anything done!!!!
                    Joe (85)

Joe,
If you belong to the ARRL, they will automatically send you a renewal form a
few months before your license expires.  Most of the form is already filled
out.  As I recall, pretty much all you have to do is sign and date it.  You
send it to the ARRL, and the new license arrives in a short time.  There is
no charge for the service if you are an ARRL member. You may be somewhat
early in any case.  I don't believe the FCC will accept renewal applications
until 3 months before your license expires. In any case, good luck with the
renewal.
73,
Art, WA6FDI

I'm wondering if that isn't one of those things which starts out as a
typo, but then is made even worse by that modern wonder the Spell

This week's story is the 1934 account of a storm that took the Tillamook
Rock Lighthouse out, and the ham radio operator who cobbled together a
transmitter and receiver to send for help. It's taken from the 1941 classic
book, CALLING CQ, written by Clinton B. DeSoto.

Subject: [QCWA] Special News Bulletin From Chapter 151

This Is A Special News Bulletin From QCWA Wild Rose Chapter 151 

This is one of those moments where I can say I am proud to be president of QCWA 
Wild Rose Chapter 151. Why? As the sponsoring organization we agreed to assist 
with an ARISS application in order for school kids to talk with the licensed 
amateur radio astronauts on the International Space Station (ISS). We are 
pleased to announce that after approximately 17 months this will come to 
fruition on December 02, 2005 beginning at 17:59 UTC. For almost 2 months we 
have known that our scheduled contact with the ISS was getting closer. At 
first, the week of November 28th was selected but, we still had not known the 
exact date until now. 

This is all taking place at the Ralph McCall School in Airdrie, AB, a first for 
Alberta to talk with the astronauts on the ISS. This is where Brian Jackson, 
VE6JBJ teaches a grade five class. This contact will be one of Brian Jackson's 
dream come true. Licensed for less than 2 years, he has enthusiastically 
instilled amateur radio into his classroom. Along with this he has worked with 
QCWA Chapter 151 to bring two schools on board with the Radio Amateurs of 
Canada Youth Education Program. All of this has been beneficial both for Brian, 
the 2 schools and Chapter 151!   

A team of ~12 volunteers have been working furiously on weekends setting up 
antennas on the school roof as well install other related radio equipment. ISS 
Operations require a backup system for most everything - like antennas, radios, 
computers, etc. Alfa Radio in Edmonton have been most generous in loaning us a 
brand new AlfaSpid Az/El rotor with cable, as well coax cable. The AlfaSpid 
rotor will be driven by a satellite tracking program via a computer for 
automatic tracking of the Space Station. 

Now that we have an exact date - our contact with the ISS will attract 
considerable media attention. To date we have learned that the CBC will be on 
site and plan to do a "live feed" as well provide a clip for the local news. If 
we are lucky we might even make the National. Watch the evening news and local 
news papers for all this. 

For all amateur radio operators and short wave listening enthusiasts - we plan 
to have a live simulcast audio feed to the IRLP Discovery Reflector (9010). 
There is also a Livestream Audio link on their web page at 

http://www.discoveryreflector.ca for those who are unable to listen in via 
IRLP. 

Please note that there may be a delay of 5 to 10 minutes for this audio stream 
after the start of the actual contact. 

Locally the Calgary Amateur Radio Association is helping with a plan to 
possibly put a temporary IRLP link to repeater VE6RYC on 146.850 - 600 or make 
some changes to repeater VE6REC on 147.210 + 600 for a more robust connection. 
If you have the time tune in! 

73, 

Ken Oelke, VE6AFO 
President
