We recently had a situation where processing of a new amateur license came to a stand-still for a former amateur operator re-entering ham radio after a long lapse Roughly 15-18 months ago the FCC performed an integration between the Universal License System (ULS) and CORES (COmmission REgistration System) . All FCC Registration Number (FRN), existing and new, in ULS are now required to have an association with a FCC CORES username account. Basically, in other words, everyone who has or needs a FRN must also have a FCC CORES username account. Existing FRN's did not automatically link to FCC CORES Username Account. YOU must associate your existing FRN with FCC CORES Username What's the impact? Like the former amateur, they registered for and successfully tested using their existing FRN. The FRN was not associated to a CORES username. The application went into limbo after the ULS could not "tie it" to a CORE username, It happened because they were not aware of the FCC integration There are probably active amateurs who have had a FRN for quite a time but have not associated their FRN to a CORES username. If you have an FRN for some time and do not have, or created, a FCC CORES username account when the ULS-CORES integration modifications were announced, the next time you renew, upgrade or modify your license, it will not completely process. The action will stay in limbo until the situation is corrected The FCC will NOT call you to advise of the problem; you must correct it yourself. If you have not possess a CORES account and associated your FRN(s) to it, go to: https://apps.fcc.gov/cores/html/Register_New_Account.htm to establish one What happened with the returning former amateur operator? After a bit of “Dick Tracy” sleuthing, we found the problem, a CORES account got established, the FRN was associated to it and the license was issued the next day jd
