FCC FEE: $35 Call sign processing.
The FCC has recently changed thier process and now charge for processing your ham radio call sign.
Once you pass the test the ARRL exam team compiles your info and sends that to the FCC.
It can take up to a week or more for the paper work to be proccessed. Once done the FCC will then
send a link via email to you. That will allow you to pay for your ham radio call sign.
The processing fee is $35 and your license is good for 10 years.
You will have 10 days to use the link. If you miss that window then
Contact us and we will get it reset for you.

Note cancellations must be done via your email from COCC, HiDARG is not able to process those.
