I just received a notice from the W.5.Y.I. group stating that my license is about to come up for renewal which I already know. What I'd like to know is, is there any particular advantage to paying them the $6.00 they want to renew it as opposed to going through the F.C.C. and getting it renewed free? Also, what is the time frame for renewing it with a snail mail form 605 verses renewing it online? 73. Harvey Heagy (N.5.H.A.U.)
