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.

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 Ria N2RJ
