Filing the FCC form 160 - CORES Registration

If you don't already have an FCC Registration Number (FRN) then you will need one to file a form 605 with the FCC. To get an FRN you have to file a CORES Registration request (form 160). You can get the form at:

ftp://ftp.fcc.gov/pub/Forms/Form160/160.pdf

You will only need to print the first page (the actual form). The rest of the document is the instructions. For my simplified instructions use:

FCC_160_Instructions.pdf

These instructions are tailored for the amateur service and should be easy to follow. Once you have the form filled in mail it to the FCC (see instructions for the address) and wait for the FCC to mail you back your FRN.

Note: These instructions are written for the September 2005 version of the 160 form.
