The Wait is On

[KC5AV]

The check cleared the bank today, so I know they are at least working on it.

My application was approved today. 42 days from the time they received it. Maybe processing times are getting shorter...

So I am in this class of 11/20/07 waiting with the rest of you anybody heard anything...I havent received anything or heard anything...just wondering

[kg79]

I'm on day 32 and havent even received a PIN yet!

[KC5AV]

I'm one month out from my packet reaching Austin. I hope to see my PIN in a few days. Regardless, it isn't going to get my license here any faster. I'd just like to know so I have something else to look forward to.

I plan to buy myself a nice new present to celebrate, but I'm having a hard time waiting for the license to arrive.

[KC5AV]

I'm happy to report that my PIN arrived today. Checking online was a little bit anti-climactic, but it shows "Processing Application"

Well it seems this has become the HAM thread so I'll throw my hat in the ring as well. Best of luck to you all may your wait be a short one.

Sorry about hijacking the thread! There are a number of us (hams) here as well.

Hey, I don't mind. Talking about different hobbies helps pass the time while we wait. This isn't like some doctors office waiting room where you are expected to sit quietly and read a magazine.

It's about time.

SOLAR CYCLE 24 BEGINS: Solar physicists have been waiting for the appearance of a reversed-polarity sunspot to signal the start of the next solar cycle. The wait is over. Yesterday, a magnetically reversed sunspot emerged at solar latitude 30 N....
For reasons explained in a recent Science@NASA story, this marks the beginning of Solar Cycle 24 and the first step toward a new solar maximum. Intense solar activity won't begin right away. Solar cycles usually take a few years to build from solar minimum (where we are now) to Solar Max (expected in 2011 or 2012). It's a slow journey, but we're on our way!

[KC5AV]

Well, it's time to start packing up. Good luck to the rest of you.
