FCC Requires That FRN Contact Information Be Updated Within Ten Days of a Change

ARRL The National Association for Amateur RadioĀ® reports that the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) adopted changes to its rules to require that every holder of an FCC Registration Number (FRN) update their contact information in the CORES system (email and postal addresses) within ten business days of a change. Because every FCC licensee—including amateur radio operators—must have an FRN to file applications, this requirement applies to all licensed amateurs. FRN contact information is handled separately and apart from contact information related to a license in the License Manager System. Both records must be kept up-to-date, and each requires a separate update.

RRRA needs YOU to run for office in 2026

Officers and a Board of Directors are essential to the operation of the Red River Radio Amateurs. And our club owes a debt of gratitude to those who have stepped forward to fill these leadership positions. But we can not continue to depend upon the same few individuals year after year. It is well past time for new officers to step forward from within our membership. As specified in Article III of the RRRA Bylaws, a leadership election will be conducted during the February Meeting. What positions must be filled? Where do you fit in? How do you run for office?
