WinterHeat Simplex Contest
KO4ZMX, Debby Dixon
WinterHeat is a month-long amateur radio simplex event held in January. The goal and purpose is for amateur radio operators to make as many contacts as possible over a month-long period of time using only designated simplex frequencies.? One contact per day, per frequency is allowed with any station per 24-hour period using UTC time. This is a technician friendly event using 6m, 2m, 1.25m, 70cm, and 33cm FM frequencies and also using DMR, Dstar, and Fusion simplex on 2m and 70cm.? This is an awesome event for new operators to get to know others in simplex range of their station.? It's also an awesome event to test the simplex range of your station and experience how propagation behaves day to day.? For more information and to register visit ?

Expanded Post On $35 FCC License Fee
Some complained to me via email about the URL only with the notice of the $35 fee...so I have copied and pasted the info from?
I did NOT include the URL for the CORES login in this post...one will have to go to the URL noted above for that. Daryl Stout, WX4QZ, UALR Ham Radio Club VE Team Liaison *** ?
The new Amateur Radio license application fees will take effect on April 19, 2022. The Federal Communications Commission's authority to impose and collect fees is mandated by Congress.?
?
The $35 application fee, when it becomes effective on April 19, will apply to new, modification (upgrade and sequential call sign change), renewal, and vanity call sign applications. The fee will be per application.
?
Administrative updates, such as a change of name, mailing or email address, will be exempt from fees.
?
VECs and Volunteer Examiner (VE) teams will not have to collect the $35 fee at exam sessions.? Once the FCC application fee takes effect, new and upgrade applicants will pay the $15 exam session fee to the ARRL VE team as usual, and pay the $35 application fee directly to the FCC by using the CORES FRN Registration system.
(Side Note: Other VE Teams and VEC's may charge a different amount...some VEC's/VE Teams have no fee at all. If you go through the W5YI VEC on the QRZ website, there is an additional fee to pay. Also, no word on what individuals who do not have a bank account (checking or savings) or a credit or debit card will be able to do. It is unwise to send cash through the mail, as it's "just asking to get stolen". So, I'd contact the FCC directly for information if you fall into that category. But, I believe that any government benefit (disability payment), tax refund, etc., are now done by electronic funds transfer (EFT) to a bank account, and are NOT mailed to the individual...to avoid being stolen. DS). ?
When the FCC receives the examination information from the VEC, it will email a link with payment instructions to each successful candidate who then will have?10 calendar days from the date of the email to pay. After the fee is paid and the FCC has processed an application, examinees will receive a second email from the FCC with a link to their official license. The link will be good for 30 days.
?
Additionally, the FCC stated that applications processed and dismissed will not be entitled to a refund. This includes vanity requests where the applicant does not receive the requested call sign.
?
The FCC published the notice in the Federal Register on March 23, 2022, stating that the amateur radio application fees, including those associated with Form 605 application filings, would become effective on April 19, 2022.
?
Further news and instructions will follow as the FCC releases them.
** ?
FCC Instructions (not applicable until fees take effect on April 19):?
If paying fees for an application filed via the Universal Licensing System, please use the CORES FRN Registration system.
?
FEE SCHEDULE (not applicable until fees take effect on April 19):
?
