[Jim Stahl]

I’m not sure what generated the original exchange, but it sounds like some good information is contained within for those holding FCC club call licenses.

> You should not associate your FRN (which is your personal social security

> The club must have a separate FRN number not associated to any individual.
> Because the FCC wireless bureau conducts business with both commercial and

> This is mostly for commercial use.

> However, for Amateur's the club's FRN and the trustee's FRN should be

> 
> The club will REGISTER for a new FRN number in the CORES system
> https://apps.fcc.gov/coresWeb/publicHome.do .
> They will apply as a "Business" (Registration Type), "Private Sector"
> (Business Type) and Amateur Club (Business subtype). 
> If the club does not have a taxpayer ID, then for the statement:  "If your
> business does not have an Employer Identification Number, select a reason:"
> select -  Amateur Club.
> Complete the remainder of the registration form and hit submit.
> The club will use that new automatically generated FRN for all their FCC
> transactions.
> 
> Last, log back into the Club license manager section and ASSOCIATE the new
> FRN to the club license

> Additionally, you should update your CORES FRN information at some point so
