</rant> Call me what every you like.... here is the answer:- It took less time to get it than it took to read you all's discussion !!!! ====================================================================== Hi Faisal, To transfer the licenses, we would need their FRN & password. The cost is $250 plus FCC Fees. The Fees are generally around $175 per Call Sign. It takes about 2 weeks, for the FCC to approve the transfer, maybe another week for them to move the Call Signs over.
