Amateur Radio Licensing Update During US Government Shutdown

  

The ARRL Volunteer Examiner Coordinator, ARRL VEC, wants members to know that we are closely following the impact of the US Government shutdown on licensing for the Amateur Radio Service.

  

The government shutdown began at 12:01 Eastern time on Wednesday, October 1, 2025, when Congress had not passed an appropriations bill or other plan to keep the government funded for the new fiscal year (begins October 1). 

  

The Federal Communications Commission, which issues Amateur Radio Service licenses, issued a  <https://arrl.informz.net/z/cjUucD9taT0zNDUwNzQ2JnA9MSZ1PTUyMDM4MTI5NSZsaT0zOTkyNzI2Mw/index.html> Public Notice on Tuesday, September 30, indicating that it would suspend most operations following a shutdown. ?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,? said the FCC Notice.

  

ARRL VEC Manager Maria Somma, AB1FM, said the FCC systems appeared to go off-line around 1 PM Eastern time, and are redirecting to the Public Notice. This means the FCC will not be processing any amateur radio license applications during the shutdown, which includes individual, club, and exam session (new and upgrade) applications.

  

?But ARRL Volunteer Examiners should continue giving exam sessions,? said Somma. ?Keep doing what you?re doing. Keep serving new and upgrade candidates for amateur radio licenses.? Somma also urged that Volunteer Examiners continue to promptly forward session results from their exams to the ARRL VEC. 

  

?Please do not hold your session results. Send your sessions to us, and ARRL VEC will continue to queue all applications as they are received. Once the federal government reopens, ARRL VEC will promptly resume submitting applications to the FCC for processing. So, keep sending sessions to the ARRL VEC.?

  

The FCC Notice indicates that the CORES registration system will remain available to the public and will not be affected by the shutdown. Exam candidates can still register in CORES and be assigned an FCC Registration Number (FRN) at  <https://arrl.informz.net/z/cjUucD9taT0zNDUwNzQ2JnA9MSZ1PTUyMDM4MTI5NSZsaT0zOTkyNzI2NA/index.html> https://apps.fcc.gov/cores/userLogin.do. The FCC's Universal Licensing System ( <https://arrl.informz.net/z/cjUucD9taT0zNDUwNzQ2JnA9MSZ1PTUyMDM4MTI5NSZsaT0zOTkyNzI2NQ/index.html> ULS) databases are currently unavailable to the public. ULS and related systems (like the License Manager, License Search, Application Search, etc.) are not accessible during the shutdown. Users cannot file applications with the FCC, or access license data, including address information.

  

To find an amateur radio exam session, please visit  <https://arrl.informz.net/z/cjUucD9taT0zNDUwNzQ2JnA9MSZ1PTUyMDM4MTI5NSZsaT0zOTkyNzI2Ng/index.html> www.arrl.org/find-an-exam. For a list of VE Teams that offer Online Exam Sessions, go to  <https://arrl.informz.net/z/cjUucD9taT0zNDUwNzQ2JnA9MSZ1PTUyMDM4MTI5NSZsaT0zOTkyNzI2Nw/index.html> www.arrl.org/online-exam-session. 

  

Pass The Bill

  

As a reminder, ARRL is continuing to collect letters from EVERY HAM as part of our grassroots campaign to pass the  <https://arrl.informz.net/z/cjUucD9taT0zNDUwNzQ2JnA9MSZ1PTUyMDM4MTI5NSZsaT0zOTkyNzI2OQ/index.html> Amateur Radio Emergency Preparedness Act. The legislation is intended to prevent restrictive homeowners? association (HOA) rules that currently prohibit or severely limit the installation of amateur radio antennas. Send your letters now at  <https://arrl.informz.net/z/cjUucD9taT0zNDUwNzQ2JnA9MSZ1PTUyMDM4MTI5NSZsaT0zOTkyNzI2OQ/index.html> www.arrl.org/HOA.

My brand new 7300 is now giving error messages whenever I try to use
FT8.  I am not sure if it is the radio itself or whether it is my software.
Does anyone have a 7300 running FT8 that I can bring my radio to their
shack and see if they get the same error messages. Please let me know as I
am near the end of my 30 day warranty on the radio and if it is defective,
I would like to exchange it for a new one.

Hi,

I am away, but if no one can help.

If you give more information, I maybe able to assist.

Operating system, exact error on system, what FT8 program you are using, is error on computer or radio?

A picture of computer screen could be useful.

Does anyone have a 7300 running FT8 that I can bring my radio to their shack and see if they get the same error messages. Please let me know as I am near the end of my 30 day warranty on the radio and if it is defective, I would like to exchange it for a new one.

Subject: [TVARC] No DXCC Standings This Month
Message-ID: <00a301dc36f1$a5e50460$f1af0d20$@gmail.com>

Sorry, but I won't be able to compile the DXCC numbers for this month's
meeting on 10/16, as we'll be away as /MM (would be nice if we could operate
from the cruiseship, but no).

 

Anyway, will be back for the November meeting, so we'll do two months' worth
then.

 

Don't forget the CQWW SSB Contest coming up on the weekend of 10/25-26.
Might just be the last blast for 10 meters this cycle?  And also, ARRL
Sweepstakes CW the following weekend.  Post your results to the reflector or
just send them to me and I'll compile.

 

73, Pete, K2PS

There will be a DXCC Standings update for the October meeting after all!
George, K2DM, has agreed to handle the updating of the TVARC DXCC, WAS, and
POTA standings lists for the upcoming meeting.  

 

He'll be looking for your DXCC count, regardless of mode, your WAS totals,
and our new POTA #of unique parks worked, as well as any activations you've
made in the last month.  Remember, confirmations are not required.

 

So, get those numbers in to George by noon Tuesday at k2dm at comcast.net.

SSB contests of the year.

 

It starts at 0000Z (8P Friday night), and continues for 48 hours.  The
exchange is simple - 5905 - so it makes for quick QSOs.  Don't forget 10
meters.  This may just be the last time we'll be having great propagation on
that band until quite a few years from now, and most of us don't have the
time to wait!  There's a Low Power class at <100 watts, and you can be
Assisted or not.  You can work the same station on each band, BTW.

 

Be sure to credit The Villages Amateur Radio Club.  Maybe we can win another
gavel in the Local Club category!

 

Post your scores on the reflector, or just send them to me and I'll compile
for the next meeting.

 

73 es GL!

Pete, K2PS

I know that we do not have an ARRL card checker as a member of TVARC, but
is there a chance that one may be coming for a visit?  The nearest I can
find on the ARRL website is in Longwood FL which is over an hour's drive
from here.

From: Robert Averitt <bobandsandy1964 at gmail.com>

To my fellow hams in TVARC:

Bob (WA3EWK) and Sandy Averitt have embarked on our next life?s adventure,
from our home on Resthaven in The Villages to an assisted living center in
Ocoee, 43 miles southeast on the FL Turnpike.  I am now in a wheelchair and
can use a walker for only short distances.  Also, after 61 years of
marriage,  breakfast, lunch and dinner are available in the dining room as
our kitchen only has a microwave.  Cooking was never my forte so Sandy no
longer has to worry about what to buy and cook for our meals.

Our email address and phone numbers will not change.


We want to sincerely thank the members of our clubs for their support and
friendship over the 12 years we have been in The Villages after our
retirement from DuPont in Delaware.


Bob and Sandy Averitt

Mike and Marty?

You might send an email to N4MB, Mickey Baker?your ARRL Section Manager.

After I retired in January, 2023 to TV? asked him FOUR times for an
appointment as a card checker, both in person (at Hamcation and Dayton) and
via email.  He assured me it would happen!

So far?crickets.

Maybe now that he?s running for office, he might listen to you guys.

Hi,

The reflector is a mailing list.

You register to be on the mailing list. If your on the list, no approval is needed.

If you send an email from an address not on the reflector email list, then approval is required

You must send your message from the email address that you registered with the reflector. Otherwise the reflector doesn?t recognize you, and your message won?t be reflected to the entire list.

Hi,    I don't know if you know Don Crosby, he was a ham operator in the villages of Santo Domingo.

I bought his house 5 years ago and he has a Flag pole / ground plane antenna out back.  I know little about it.  I would like to give it away if someone wants to take it down and dig up the base.  I can help them.

If interested, please call
Jim

Got on for a few hours this weekend, and conditions weren't bad.  But SSB
can be kind of a slog, unless you've got big power and big antennas.  I had
neither.  Was hoping that perhaps I could run a bit on Sunday morning on 10
meters, but no one heard me, so it was S&P all the way.

Looking forward to CQWW CW on the Thanksgiving weekend.  Will put up the 10m
yagi and do a single band effort.  Should be better than this one...I hope.

I saw on contestingonline.com, that John, W4GD, and Paul, KM4PIH made some
Qs.  I encourage all who did to post their scores on the reflector, and I'll
get your callsigns up in lights (however dim they may be) next meeting.

I didn't spend much time on the air. Like Pete stated, it was an uphill 
battle when you're not running maximum power and don't have an array of 
antennas at your disposal. All S&P which was frustrating enough... can't 
imagine how calling CQ would have gone.

Enough whining!

I had 29 QSOs (73 pts) consisting of 25 countries and 11 zones for a 
total score of 2628.

Hey, it was a fun time regardless!

73,
Paul, KM4PIH
