We are trying to renew a ham radio license that will expire soon, and are having trouble with the CORES system. Can someone who's done this recently advise? (OK to respond privately)
Thanks very much!
Write to the corrupt in Congress? lol...
We’ve already established they receive thousands of complaints regarding their very suspect renewal process. There is no reason for me to even waste more time with this jackassery.
I don’t trust the arrangement between the FCC and this, “Service” that will happily renew it for you for additional money of course. The whole thing stinks like a days old homicide scene from my perspective.
Then send a message to President Trump, and to Brendan Carr.
Otherwise, I guess you have no recourse but to complain here - and that won’t get you very far.
At the bottom are links for license support and renewal support that should get you where you want to go.

Trump has better things to do. And since this was a thread about renewal and you were caught up in the same jackassery like thousands of others, I thought I’d comment and add my opinion.
It’s all the truth as well as a heads up to others, not just you. If you can’t deal with accurate assessments and the truth, I don’t know what to tell you.
By the way, I have no need for you to tell me what to do. You had such difficulty renewing you started a thread about it looking for help...I don’t like your attitude either. As if legitimate complaints and information are bad.
This whole convoluted renewal process has been discussed, rehashed, people begging for help and complained about for a looong time now by thousands of others. You’re late. Welcome to the party.
Practice with this and you will ace the test....

Well, other people have said they’ve managed to deal with it; so I have to assume it’s possible.
And if it’s important enough to you to show such concern, why not contact the Chairman?
Pertinent question: Do ya think this is a legitimate process? I ask because it seems you don't even care if it is.
Again, other people here have been able to deal with it successfully, whether you and I have or not. That makes me wonder if I’ve made a mistake, and I want to know for sure.
You’ve had so much trouble with this renewal process you posted a thread seeking help.
That considered, have you complained or voiced concern about this extremely questionable process?
Why are you evading my legitimate questions?
Thousand have and are complaining and you think maybe you’re the one making a mistake? C’mon.
You’re not paying attention,
Are you going to answer any questions? How long have you spent now trying to simply renew a license for a hobby?
Or did you like thousands of others simply give up and pay the FCC’s friends who run that, “Private” service who will do it all for you for additional money?
I haven’t tried the instructions from the FCC yet. Maybe I’ll let you know when I do - or maybe not.
You’re playing games and continue to evade my legitimate questions. This is a waste of time.
I wish you the best of luck...lol
