Re: Foundies waiting impatiently for their standard call
My requested callsign is no longer available on the WIA website as of yesterday. I have my fingers crossed for the ACMA db on Monday - I've even made a tshirt!

Re: Foundies waiting impatiently for their standard call
Meg's callsign and my previous callsign used to be somebody elses. I wouldn't worry about that too much. Especially 10 years ago. That person probably has a full call now.

Re: echolink link
Curious on this... whats the point of having Assessors marking the exams when you do them if the WIA is just going to have someone do it all again? (this doesn't happen with Nationally Recognised Training!). Once an Assessor has assessed someone as competent, that should be it...VK6ZMS wrote:Gee 20 packs a day @ 1 hour each, that means the examiner doing the packs only gets 4 hours sleep

Re: Foundies waiting impatiently for their standard call
Who knows
Looks like they got part way through the WA packs then, coz a certain F-call is still showing as "available" on the WIA website, even though Meg's standard call isn't there any more.

You'll have to start another thread if you want the WIA to take you seriously Nafenn

Re: Foundies waiting impatiently for their standard call
Heh, mines not thier either which means it must have been processed, thanks for that Meg, cool idea.
In regards to fastlane's question, if an assessor didnt mark our exams there we wouldnt know weather we passed for four weeks, and plus, i guess it saves it being posted i guess and saves the WIA time too.
