I just renewed my license via ULS, as described below. I had an FRN, but no
password, so I requested a password on Monday 7/12 and received one
immediately via email. After logging in, I applied for renewal, which took
less than a minute. Yesterday morning, I logged in to check the status of my
renewal, and found that it had been issued on 7/13; a hardcopy arrived by
postal mail yesterday afternoon.
I don't see how this process could be any simpler...

John,
There is an FCC Registration Number (FRN) associated with your call. You
need the FRN and a password to logon to FCC's Universal Licensing System
(ULS).
Go to http://wireless2.fcc.gov/UlsApp/UlsSearch/searchLicense.jsp and search
for your callsign. It's there, of course, and so is your FRN. Write that
down. Before you go any farther, you should know the FCC database says your
call expires 7/31/2011. So you have a year to do this, and as I recall, you
cannot renew until there are 90 days to go.
When you do the renewal process next year , you'll need your password. If
you've done this before in the past, it may be burried in your files.
However, it is more likely that when you got your license, the VE did all
the FCC paperwork for you, and you were automatically assigned an FRN but
you never set up a password. So you will need to set one up. Go to
https://wireless2.fcc.gov/UlsEntry/licManager/login.jsp - enter your FRN and
click on Forgot your password? "Contact Tech Support". First you'll need
to "Set Personal Security Question".
I'd recommend you get all that set up now, including a password, then save
the FRN and password in your files so it will be easy to log on and renew
when it is time.
There's a simpler alternative. The major VECs like ARRL and W5YI Group
offer renewal services for a small fee.
ARRL's is described at http://www.arrl.org/call-sign-renewals-or-changes
The W5YI Group's process is at http://www.w5yi.org/page.php?id=87
You've got plenty of time, the way I read the FCC database.
