[vcf-midatlantic] [OT] Ham VE session 4/13/2022 - Avoid the new fee

[Chris Hendrickson]

The good news is that the FCC recently clarified that they will not 
charge the fee for license upgrades (as well as administrative updates 
such as address changes). So, go ahead and hop onto ULS to renew now, 
and then you can take some time to study and prepare for your upgrade.

New licenses, license renewals, and vanity call applications will 
however be subject to the $35 fee.
