DS>EV>iirc, there was a period here in the past that there was a charge for
DS>EV>renewing of a license, but luckily I never had to renew my station
DS>EV>during that period.

DS>  I've only been licensed since 1991 (and have to wait another year
DS>before I can become part of the QCWA (Quarter Century Wireless
DS>Association), so I don't know much about past license fees, as it were.

I was first licenced in 1992.
I had delayed getting my Licence for many years, first because the brian
could not get the rhythm of CW even after many years(since 1948 when I
passed a made up test by a Ham Licenced High School teacher using the
question pool) of trying. Even after the No code tech was instituted I
would not bring myslef to take the test bewcause I felt less then
capable if I coudl not use CW.
Even after I dod get my No Code Tech at club meetings I had to endure
the "Old Timers" carping that NO Code Tech were not REAL Hams.
