And the FCC doesn't issue paper copies anymore - only digital - so i just printed one off, signed it, and sent it in.
The "validation" i got simply said the licence that I obtained from the FCC is valid in Austria. Literally no certificate number referenced on the validation. Which is what i ment when i wrote earlier it wasn't very 'impressive' ;-).
Now i assume from your question, you dont have a seperate radiotelephone licence and in your country it is part of the FCL licence? In that case, i dont know what to tell you. When i inquired with austrocontrol whether i had to get it validated or if in austria it is also part of the FCL, i only got a half-answer that i had to validate it via that link i posted. I assume therefore they are seperate licences in Austria.
You could try emailing Mr. Gschwendt (contact details on the link), but I'd suggest writing in German. At the bottom of the page they let you know how they feel about English: "NEIN! Amtssprache ist Deutsch."
Thanks for your help Matt, appreciate it, it looks like I'm going to have to send Mr Gschwendt an email in German via google translate
