Licenses
The Catoosa VE Group participates in the W5YI-VEC Electronic Filing program. The license
data of successful applicants is submitted to the W5YI-VEC immediately after the test
session. The data file is authenticated by the W5YI-VEC and reviewed for errors. It is
then electronically submitted to the FCC for license issuance. The FCC generates licenses
each week night for all of the applications received that day.

Newly licensed amateurs and upgrading amateurs are authorized to operate using their
