The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) staff has clarified that by request that the new $35 application fee will not apply to most license modifications, including those to upgrade an Amateur Radio Licensee’s operator class and changes to club station trustees. The FCC staff explained that the new fees will apply only to applications for a new license, renewal, rule waiver, or a new vanity call sign. As previously announced, the new fees take effect on April 19, 2022. “We are pleased that the FCC will not charge licensees the FCC application fee for license upgrade applications, While applicants for a new license will need to pay the $35 FCC application fee, there will be no FCC charge for future upgrades and administrative updates such as a change of mailing or email address. Most current licensees therefore will not be charged the new FCC application fee until they renew their license or apply for a new vanity call sign.”

Radio communicators such as Amateur (Ham) and GMRS Radio operators are the glue and the connection when other communications methods are gone. We are your neighbors, the person in the next apartment, the one with those funny antennas on his car next to you on the road, we’re working beside you at the office, and we may sit beside you at church. With about 780,000 radio operators in the United States alone, we’re all around and ready to help.
