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.
