FCC radio permit

Why does every government website have to be such a pain to navigate? I'm trying to obtain this useless piece of paper but I can't because under the personal information tab where I have to enter my address it does not have United States as the country. I can't get past this page because I have to enter the country for the address but US is not an option.

Go back and reread. You are on the page for people with a foreign address. Go back and click on the correct box for a US address.

Ugh I totally missed that.
Thank you for the help. That website was so annoying and hard to understand/navigate.

Its a govt bureaucracy website, what did you expect.

Part of passing the test is figuring out the application form, once you can navigate it, you passed. That is until you lose your form.

I don't want to deal with the bureaucracy and their forms. That's why I still have my original from 1975

Thank God it never expires. I will print 4 copies so I never have to deal with that site again.
And what's the point of this permit seriously? Looks like just a way to collect $35 from everyone.

It's required for VHF operations out of the country. And any HF operations. It used to be required for VHF in the US years ago. It's an FCC and ICAO requirement.

I thought it was an easy site once I knew how.
