==>ARRL PROVIDING FCC LICENSE RENEWAL, ADDRESS CHANGES, MODS TO NON-MEMBERS 

The ARRL has announced that it's now providing FCC Amateur Radio license 
renewals, address changes and other license modification services to 
nonmembers. For a $12 fee, the League will renew a nonmember's Amateur 
Radio ticket (the license must be within 90 days of expiration), file an 
application to change address or name or request issuance of a new 
sequential call sign. The ARRL Volunteer Examiner Coordinator is 
processing these applications. 

"The $12 is in line with our calendar year 2003 exam application fee," 
said ARRL VEC Manager Bart Jahnke, W9JJ. For several years, the ARRL has 
been handling renewals, address and name changes and modifications free 
of charge for members and has directed nonmembers to the FCC's free 
Internet or hard-copy application options or to other providers of such 
services. 

Jahnke suggests that nonmembers who now choose to employ the League's 
application handling service also consider adding $27 (based on the 
current under-65 full term member rate of $39) for a full ARRL membership 
that includes free application handling and other services--not to 
mention QST. 

Members or nonmembers taking advantage of this service should submit 
NCVEC Form 605 <http://www.arrl.org/fcc/forms.html> to ARRL VEC, 225 Main 
St, Newington CT 06111 USA for processing. Nonmembers should make the $12 
fee payable to "ARRL." For more information, contact ARRL VEC, 
vec@arrl.org.
