Thank you.

I have no idea why people would pass around this false information. It's just bizarre.

I've asked for a copy of the supposed letter.

The FCC has not begun to collect the fee, and timing is still unknown.

Subject: [arrl-odv:33386] $35 fee update?

 

One of my division's clubs (SMARA) put out an email regarding the $35 fee. They claimed that one of their VE candidates received a return letter from the FCC saying they need to pay $35 to have their license processed.

 

Is there anything official regarding the FCC's start date for collecting this fee?

 

Or is this just misinformation and hearsay?

 

Thanks
