How does an Amateur file for renewal?
A renewal can be filed 90 days prior to the expiration date of a call sign. To complete a renewal of your license the FCC Form 605 (Main Form and/or associated schedules) is required. The purpose of the filing will either be Renewal Only “RO” or Renewal/Modification “RM”. Renewal Only will be selected to renew an existing license that has not expired and where no changes in the license are being requested. Renewal/Modification will be selected to renew an existing license and request changes to that license (i.e., address, telephone, email, etc.) For a manual filing the appropriate form can be obtained via website: www.fcc.gov/formpage.html. To file electronically via the ULS you will need to use a Netscape Communicator Browser (4.61; 4.75, 4.76, 4.5 version) with windows application. Electronic filers would utilize website: www.fcc.gov/wtb/uls.
