The cost is $14.20 until September 4, when it goes to $15. That is
according to the ARRL letter released today.
When the FCC established the Vanity program in 1996, my first
application, which resulted in my current call, cost $50.00.

Hi Curtis,
There are two ways to do this.
1. You can do it on the FCC website and pay with a credit card, cost
is
around $15.
2. You can pay around $40 to a service who will take care of it for
you.
Let me ask you, how do you know the call is available? Just because
it is
not assigned does not mean it is yet available. The call may be in
the
2-year grace period.
There is a website that can tell you if a call is available and what
date it
will become available if it is currently not available.
Do you have the id number required in order to do business on the FCC
website?
If you do, than there really isn't any reason you should have to pay
the
additional $25 to have someone else do it for you.
Answer these questions and based on your answers, I will tell you how
to
proceed.
