Good stuff, nice to see the FCC modernizing.

EDIT: They should fall back to SMS or physical mail notifications if emails bounce.

Sigh. The old licenses looked nice.

They've been printing them on normal copier paper rather than the basketweave for awhile.

I got my amateur license around a year ago. They stopped mailing paper licenses a while ago.

You can go to the FCC license database and print it out if you don't receive it for any reason. I got my license back in April, and that's the only way I got a hard copy.
