RW> TW> Having FUN again Roy. YOU knew what I meant.   
      
   RW>I would expect you to say what you mean. What you said could have thrown a   
   RW>wannabe HAM off the track, leading to an expectation of having a license   
   RW>in hand after spending 9 hours testing. That isn't the case.   
      
   RW>AFAIK, if you already have a license and you've successfully passed a   
   RW>higher license exam, you may operate with the higher privileges on your   
   RW>present class of license for 30 days or the day your new license is   
   RW>delivered in the mail. If you aren't presently licensed, you'll not be   
   RW>able to operate until you do have your license in hand.   
      
   Checket out Roy. YOU can operate as soon as the Passing of the exam is   
   Registered with the FCC by the Examiner, which can be done over the   
   internet. If the timing is just right(IF the examiner submits the data   
   to the FCC after the session) Some have found their name in the FCC data   
   base in two days. The licence itself takes two weeks or so to arrive.   
      
   So picking the Nits it is effectively walking out of the exam with a   
   licence. Yuo jsut have to hold off until it is in the FCC data base   
   before transmitting. BUT you are Efectively Licenced
