Greetings All:
I've been keeping this under my hat and was waiting for official notification and issuance of a call sign before making the announcement, but circumstances have forced me to appeal to the group at large for some help.
Here's the problem: On Dec. 2 of 2014 I took and passed the Tech Exam. Was told by the 3 VEs present that it normally takes 7-10 days for it to process and have a call sign generated. As of this week I have not received a call sign and no one at ARRL HQ seems to know why.
The original exam pack was never received at HQ so a second was sent via FedEx. Records show that it was received at HQ but no one there can seem to find it. Meanwhile, the original exam pack was returned to sender as undeliverable despite ARRLs address being clearly marked on the envelope.
The VEs here want to send in a third pack and hope that it will get through.
All of this is quite frustrating. I've some nice equipment sitting on my desk, all ready to use but can't because for some odd reason my license app keeps falling into a black hole.
Question: Has anyone else experienced this problem, or heard of it happening to others? By this time I was hoping to upgrade to General. Instead I'm stuck in some type of limbo.
Suggestions?
