I was able to use my full name in a search and it came up, however, I had a ship's radar endorsement that's not shown. What good is the "GROL" anyway? Does anyone honor it? de WD7F John in Tucson

May want to wait a day or 2...problem(?) From the past tial (and success) I noticed my issue date for the GROL was different than perceived. Perhaps a change in recording created a different date (date of the recording change). What comes to mind is when the FCC changed from 1st class designation to the GROL ident., but I'm not sure.

I'm having problems trying to access their database. I went to QRZ, looked up my license, then hyperlinked to the FCC web page from QRZ's listing. There I found my FRN number and inserted it onto the ULS license database for commercial licenses. It didn't find anything. Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong?
