It's been about a year since I got my tech license. I remember getting my CSCE when I passed my test but I don't really remember what the cert looked like.
I'm asking because last night on the Quincy 2m repeater, we had a guy trying to check in on the traffic net. He gave his callsign and it WAS NOT a FCC issued callsign. He claimed that he took his tech test on Monday and got his callsign the same day...in fact...they gave it to him right after they graded his test. So, yeah...some flags up there when we heard that. I started wondering though, maybe he was looking at his CSCE and was using the "serial number" of that thinking it was his callsign.
Anyone know what the serialization looks like on the CSCE?
