[Antennas] Heads up/reminder on renewals

Wed Oct 22 15:45:21 EDT 2008

Hello All-
Yesterday's mail brought an official-looking envelope from the W5YI 
Group offering to renew my license for 7ドル.00. It is absolutely NOT 
necessary to use those people or anyone else like them (ARRL, et al.) 
and pay money to renew my license. I checked the FCC website and it's 
still almost a month before the feds will even accept a renewal from me; 
my license expires mid-February next year. When the FCC does accept my 
renewal (not earlier than 90 days before the due date), I can do it for 
free with a few mouse clicks over the net.
Just thought I would remind everyone of these facts. Thanks for the 
soapbox!
