Hello List, John Crawford has proven the FCC database is only as smart as it's user. Most users only appear to have a limited knowledge of the database, but some of us know how to use it correctly, John Crawford in this case does not.
One would think that a new ham like Mr. Crawford attending an Institute like R.P.I. would know how to use the informational database of the F.C.C. Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute 110 Eighth St Troy, NY 12180 Our tax dollars at work:) It would appear this isn't the case, therefore I will attempt to educate user's like Mr. Crawford in an attempt to not have this issue be repeated. First off "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" isn't my callsign nor have I ever claimed it to be my callsign. No person on this list has ever ask for my ham callsign when dealing with myself for items I have sold them, I have only supplied one of my mailing addresses. [EMAIL PROTECTED] is my email address, nothing more. Several individuals have come to the aid of another member of this list server to assist them in finding out who I am, without properly researching the information provided to this mail server. Here is where some folks need to be educated: 1.) If you think you know someone's callsign either expired, cancelled or current you would simply go to the F.C.C. web site and access the license "ULS" system. "http://wireless2.fcc.gov/UlsApp/UlsSearch/searchLicense.jsp" 2.) Once your at the website, simply place the callsign into the search engine, this being my old callsign you will place it in the search engine, you will see the callsign of "kd6hcn" has been cancelled. 3.) Once you have determined that the callsign is in "FACT" cancelled your research doesn't stop here!!!. "CLICK" on the callsign as in this case "kd6hcn", next you will see another screen detailing the status os the callsign. In this window you will see several important fields, the most important is the "Licensee ID SGIN" number. In this case it is "L00444702". 4.) Once this number has been identified i.e. "L00444702" simply place it in the "ULS" search engine field and change the "license search by" field to "By licensee I.D.". 5.) Next you will see all licenses associated with anyone's "License", as is the case. 6.) You will see all licenses associated with "kd6hcn", you will see the next callsign assigned would have been "n6cid". You would have also seen a "GMRS" license" of "WPUD704" also assigned to this licensee I.D. Number. Each and every license identifier on the FCC website can be clicked on to have a detail of each said license indicating licensee address and contact info. I hope this educating lesson helps out those "radio cop's" among us that wish to police us.
