The application fee didn't really go down, it also went up, except for VUCCs on 2.3ghz and above. The application fee used to be $12, and that included how many QSLs you sent to get the VUCC. Now if I want to get a brand new VUCC on 6m using LOTW, it is $7 for the intial fee, plus $16.00 for the QSL fee, so it is $23, as opposed to the previous $12, so it has doubled in price.
