Daryl, Thanks for telling me reneeal of my License through the FCC costs $35.00
USD.

The other info you posted I already read before seeing your post.

The 250 Kcs/s I can't operate on prob is unused execpt fot Amateur Extras
interested in DXing, which doesn't matter to me anyway even if I could get on
the air on the lower end of the Advanced CW Band.

I still have almost two years before my License has to be renewed.
Ed
