- Rules for the use of the SCHEART System
The mission of the SCHEART system is to provide an auxiliary communication path for licensed amateur radio operators to support hospitals, county emergency management officials and state agencies during emergencies. It is available to amateur radio operators for legal operation within the FCC Part 97 Rules and Regulations when it is not being used for emergencies or officially sanctioned activities.

- FCC to Require Two Factor Authentication for CORES Users
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has announced an upcoming change to the Commission Registration System (CORES) that licensees use to pay any application or regulatory fees, manage or reset a password on an existing FRN, or request a new FRN.
- How to Renew your License Online
- Just an FYI regarding manual FCC filings and payments.
Some have utilized the FCC form to renew their license or make FCC payments in the past by mail. Within the next 90 days, the FCC will be closing the PO Box used for those filings. They will no longer accept any mailed in manual filings or payments. All payments and filings will be required to be done electronically.
Payments will be accepted by credit card or debit from a bank account.
