W4WA saw his new call assignment on the net and called the FCC to
find out. They said he could go ahead and use it before he had the
paper in hand, but to my mind, that doesn't seem proper.
Of course, if I find out via computer Saturday afternoon that I'm
getting a new call, I may change my opinion!
BTW, both Ron's old call and new call appeared in the database for
several days for some reason.
GL...keep waiting!

Tyler:
Please re-send your e-mail. I am using an older terminal here, and lost a
control sequence at the start of your e-mail. Sorry for the request, but
this reflector has been very unstable since we stripped a gear. The
replacement from the Babbage Wheel and Cog Company, never was quite as
reliable as the original.
Thanks, ALGOL is!
Bob.
