Later this year I expect to spend about 3 months in Washington DC. I know I can get a Cept license but really want to get a US callsign. Is there a way I can do this? Cliff G3NDC |

Just take the test. Only real requirement is they will only send your license to a postal address that takes domestic postage. This includes Army Post Office (APO)/ Fleet Post Offices (FPO), street addresses. Post Office Boxes and Private Mail Boxes (PMB) such as Mail Boxes etc. Every year at Dayton Hamvention a handful of foreigners take the test. They will ask for an FRN or Social Security Number. Apply for an FRN, it is free at:https://apps.fcc.gov/coresWeb/regEntityType.do Where it asks for a Social Security Number in the "drop down box" choose "The individual is foreign":remember the VE's are volunteers and may not know this so I'd get the FRN before going to take the exam. |
