[amsat-bb] Re: reply from arrl on new vucc fees

[John Geiger]

The application fee didn't really go down, it also went up, except for VUCCs 
on 2.3ghz and above.  The application fee used to be $12, and that included 
how many QSLs you sent to get the VUCC.  Now if I want to get a brand new 
VUCC on 6m using LOTW, it is $7 for the intial fee, plus $16.00 for the QSL 
fee, so it is $23, as opposed to the previous $12, so it has doubled in 
price.
