Do you need to pay the card checker the $.20/QSO, or is that only if you send them directly to ARRL??
I agree with Rick - the wording is not very clear.

Save on postage, etc. Hopefully the Card Checker wont want his cut too now? Sign of the times, it looks like to me...

(the old form, date 2009, and the new form, date Jan. 2011) see following website: http://www.arrl.org/files/file/Awards/VUCC%20App%202011.pdf It looks like instead of a flat $10 fee, they now have gone to multiple fees for postage, the application and number of contacts. If I'm comprehending this correctly, if you apply for additional VUCC sticker, in the US and a ARRL member, and turn in 60 cards, it would cost you the following: $1 postage, $7 application fee, and $.20 x 60 = $12 for a total of $20.00 Is this correct? I welcome all replies, if not. 73 all, Rick WA4NVM > Hi all, > > I was just looking over the VUCC award application and noticed that they > now > charge 20 cents per QSO.
