So the FCC has this really sweet online system they call the Universal Licensing Service that you use to make changes and updates to your FCC License. Well I’m trying to make a change to my FCC Amateur Radio license on ULS and I have been trying for 6 hours and I can’t even get to the login screen without the connection timing out.
I’m finding it very dang frustrating that the FCC ULS seems to always be really slow, and is often down when I need to use it for something. I know its not a vital service, but it seems to be down more then 50 percent of the time and frankly its really pissing me off right now. I know every piece of software has its down times, but frankly this software does not seem to have an up time. It seems like the government would use a much better software to do things – oh wait, I forgot about Government efficiency. I guess I’m just going to have to settle for the old fashioned paperwork method of doing business with the FCC.
Am I the only one with this problem?
EDIT: After 9 and a half hours of trying I was finally able to electronically file my paperwork!
