I saw 2 notes on the ARRL website today: 1) Skywarn Recognition Day 2025 has been CANCELED. They hope to set up a Spotter Recognition Event sometime in 2026. 2) The FCC ULS is back up, and VEC's are getting ready to send in exam results from exam sessions since Sept. 30. Also, the FCC has EXTENDED the deadline to renew licenses that expired since Oct. 1, 2025 through March 5, 2026, to March 5, 2026. So, those licensees whose licenses had expired can keep operating, as long as they renew by March 5, 2026. They will have to pay the $35 renewal fee when they do. 73, Daryl, N5VLZ ....
