Sean, The time for the calls sign to show up in the FCC ULS database depends mostly on the speed of the VE/VEC giving the test and processing the paper work. A friend of mine had his call in the ULS database about 3 days after his test. I think that is the fastest I ever heard of. The

My interest in 6M goes back to that memorable solar cycle around 1958, when from my QTH in WV I worked ZS in the morning, W6, in the afternoon, KH6 a bit later with a ground plane and 25W AM. As an active CW op on HF, I had great fun keying my 2E26 rig to work AU. 40 years later, I enjoyed 6M
