Dave Herrick (WA1BXM) just sent me this snippet on the FCC’s ULS outage.  They don’t seem to have a definite date for when they expect service to be restored.  Please share this with anyone who might have a need to know.  (I wonder if they got caught in the recent Russian CL0P ransomware attack and haven’t yet been able to recover?)

FCC ULS down, Amateurs Unable to Submit Applications, Filing Deadlines Extended

The FCC Universal Licensing System (ULS) has been experiencing an outage since Friday, June 9, 2023. Amateur licensees are unable to submit applications or process renewals. Filing deadlines have been extended. The FCC has been communicating updates with VECs, including ARRL VEC about the situation, which remains fluid. As of late afternoon on Thursday, June 15, 2023 the FCC had no timeline for when the ULS would be back online.
