35 smackers to apply for a new license, renew a license, apply for a vanity call, renew a vanity call, etc.
Makes me glad I renewed both W2LJ and NJ2SP in 2020. I won't have to fork out dollars until 10 years from now. Seriously, I can live with the fee - but I really felt it should have been waived for first time license applications. Just my .02, or perhaps just my $35.02.

One penny a day to renew every 10 years. It's not a financial burden. I do agree it would have been nice to see it waived for new applicants. It will have the benefit of freeing up unused callsigns that guys maintain just because it doesn't cost anything. And it should stop the few jerks that apply for 1x2 and 2x1 calls over and over just to keep others from being able to get them. It's another tax that we can't do anything about.
