Jim:
The best thing to do is use the date on which the application is
prepared and signed. However, any date between when you received the
form and the 23rd will be OK. Just don't date it the 24th!
Best of luck getting the one you want!
Tad, ?3(or4)??

Subject: Signature Date on Contest 610V
Author: jreid@aloha.net (Jim Reid) at INTERNET
Many have counseled that Express Mail sent today or
on Friday will be date stamped in by the Mellon Bank
as Sept. 23rd, opening date of Gate 2. However, the
610V forms asks us to date the application on the
date we sign the 610V form. If I date the
application with today or tomorrow's date, ie,
19th or 20th, will the app. be rejected? Or
should I just go ahead and date it Sept. 23, 1996,
the opening day?
Typical question about a government form!

OK, the contesting fairy just dropped by to give you a present. You have a
choice: He/(or she....politicially correct, you know)will give you a
TS-930SAT or a TS-690SAT for HF CONTESTING purposes.
Which would you choose? Reasons?
Thanks for the help and have nice weekend(Unless you work at Mellon Bank:-(

Message-ID: <199609201839.OAA12954@mime4.prodigy.com>
Scott,
I asked the question of the ARRL VEC Manager who is well up on what
is happening as I wondered if my Express Mail was worth it or if the
electronic would be better. My concern being if electronic was a 9/23
day one submission or held for payment.
One must wonder why an application without payment would be accepted
as it is incomplete the same as one arriving prior to the box
openings would be returned an premature. KC2Q got his back as
premature and must have been by a long way.
Then again banking procedures from Friday night close are allowing
lots of weekend handcarries rather than the FCC procedure of Monday
morning so win some loose some.
Here is Bart's reply -
Bob:
Anything filed electronically on 9/23 will be considered
first day. I expect the FCC will allow a reasonable timeframe
to get the payment in (I'd guess 30 days), and then if no
payment arrives FCC will either undo a grant if one had been
made, or not grant a call if they haven't issued any day one
calls yet.
I don't expect to see any day one grants until about three
weeks after day one (since they have to put all day one
receipts into a big queue, including entering of the thousands
of paper applications--with each one's 25 choices).
73,
--Bart
I have still opted for sending mine by Express Mail by the Post
Office to
Federal Communications Commission
Amateur Vanity Call Sign Requests
PO BOX 358924
Pittsburg, PA 15251
This is the BOX that will be opened, checks removed and forwarded to
Gettysburg. The handcarried deliveries to the lock box will be
brought to join this BOX for processing internally at the bank.
Using the USPS Express Mail rather than Fedex or other eliminates
that extra internal step which I'm sure won't happen until during the
day Monday anyway when whoever has the lockbox brought to the PO BOX

This is probably a stupid question.
Where should we mail SSB Sprint logs? For CW, it was
CWSPRINT@CONTESTING.COM. Is there also a SSBSPRINT@CONTESTING.COM?
How would I know without asking?
