Dave, ? Given the various answers I have received, it appears that the major delay from test mailed in until database update is the USPS. Still, this blindingly fast compared to the old days. ? Thanks, ? Rick ?

? I am a VE through the ARRL.? Our club is in north-central Idaho and we give exams before our club meetings on Tuesday evenings.? I mail the paper work to ARRL the next day(Wednesday).? The calls usually show on the FCC database the next Tuesday.? If Monday is a holiday, it is later.? I tell applicants it will be 7 to 10 days to see the call sign.
? Got my novice license in 1963.? Then, you didn't know if you passed until you got the envelope from the FCC 2 or 3 MONTHS later.? Sometimes, if you passed, you got ads for QSL cards with your call on them before the FCC envelope came.? Also, you knew you passed or failed by the thickness of the envelope(thin - fail, thick passed).?
