I also saw that I can print out and sign a form stating that I have filed
the applications and that then becomes my temporary license if posted next

radio use in their waters was questioned before the FCC gets around to
sending me the real thing. If it's anything like the FAA, that could be a
few years.

I don't know about the licenses you want, but my new GRMS license and
amateur radio renewal were done in weeks, not months.
