[44net] Re: Portal Tickets - Who to contact?

We are working through the tickets. We did not anticipate the huge flood of tickets since the portal went up. We have added additional members of the TAC to work through the Callsign and Address verification tickets. Tickets related to other things are handled by staff. We use access to records of FCC, RAC, and QRZ.com <http://qrz.com/> and other online resources we can find. But we are NOT spending any extra time trying to match records. If we find any conflicting information, we are simply rejecting the application. At this time, we are not going to send out post cards or use other methods to verify addresses. Mainly due to the costs involved. The cost of sending out a simple post card, is typically over $2. There are hundreds of addresses needing verification. I have to admit I’ve been surprised by the number of folks that requested verification of an address that does not agree with their license. So if you have a pending address or callsign verification request, make sure all the public databases agree with your request. — Dave K9DC, K9IP
