 | FCC's Universal Licensing System If you haven't already, please visit the ULS website to register. The FCC is hoping that most of your transactions with the FCC ( e.g. address changes, license renewals) will take place electronically in the future. You will still be able to do transactions on paper forms, however, electronic filing will be considerably quicker, more accurate, and less costly. |
B. RACES
| RACES Call Signs: As part of the Biennial review decision, the FCC also decided it will not renew RACES call signs. It had already discontinued issuing new RACES calls. In the future, RACES operators will use their own calls in lieu of a RACES station call. |

D. SKYWARN News
| NOTE: There's been
a change in WX2PHI Skywarn mail
reflectors!
As of June 2000, the two Mt. Holly Skywarn mail reflectors (list servers) were being discontinued and new reflectors were being created to replace them. You'll need to personally sign up for the new reflectors, since participants in the old reflector are not being automatically moved over. The Severe Weather reflector will send you severe WX statements only -- no news. There are also county specific reflectors for severe WX statements. The WX2PHI SKYWARN reflector has postings of important news, events, and other discussions related to SKYWARN.
