“The Federal Communications Commission will be changing the way new amateur radio applicants register for a FCC Registration Number (FRN)"¹—the identification number needed by those who are “doing business” with the Commission (e.g. applying for a radio operator license, paying fees).

The FCC have released a short HOWTO video demonstrating the registration procedure. Please note that e-mail address verification is required when creating an FCC User Profile; applicants will need access to their e-mail account during profile creation.

RRRA Officer elections will be conducted during the February Virtual Meeting.

We have candidates for all of the positions but, if you’re interested, now is your chance to run.
