Chris, KC0YBM, discovered that the new VUCC application form dated "May2011" has some reduced fees on it. I have revised my one page comparison accordingly. It can be downloaded at: http://www.papays.com/vuccfees052011.pdf
The major concern is the initial application for VUCC compared to DXCC. If you submit 120 cards for your initial VUCC award, you'll pay $35.00. If you submit 120 cards for your initial DXCC award, you will pay only $12.00! This certainly discourages participation in the VUCC program from those just starting out.
Note that once again fees were changed without any fanfare. You just download the application and see what they are. Considering all of the email we get from the ARRL, you would think that the new fees would be announced via that venue. Just another point to discuss with the ARRL.
Please print some copies of the new version and take them with you to Dayton. It will help put pressure on the situation.
