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!

Argh! Sorry to hear about that Meg, how annoying, I was just telling Rob that Im annoyede that the callsign whilst may still be avalible Was previously owned by someone else. Last update I saw on qrz.com was in 1999 but Still, people could mistaken me for someone else.

No this is good - it means (I think/hope) that the WIA have allocated it to me Just waiting on the ACMA database now.

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.

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...

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.

I can only nod, agree and say "when I rule the world, things will be different..."

Clearly this certain person didn't ring and hassle them as James and I both did

EH HEM????

what about no calls inpatiently waiting for their F-Call????

Isn't Doug talking about you? I thought he was.

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

OHHhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh ....... HOOOOO how do you find out? oh wait I think i know, ill have a look and see if mine is out to, Cheers Meg.

And cheers too Rob, your reassurance helped me.

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.

[reminiscing] ah, the good ol' days when the results came through in a week or so, and you went to Perth and got the license over the counter, same day [/reminiscing]

aint progress wonderful

Still nothing on the ACMA database... tonight? tomorrow?
