As of April 19, 2022, the FCC will collect from you a $35 fee for a new, renewal, or vanity callsign application. Upgrades to an existing license does not have a fee. This is separate from the $15 exam fee collected at the session and is done directly with the FCC. They will send you an email when your application is processed that includes a link for payment. You then have 10 days to pay the fee. After you pay the fee your license will be issued after processing.

Within the Club there are groups that engage in Public Service, Contesting, DX, VHF/UHF, SSB, CW, Construction/Experimentation, Packet, and Traffic Handling. While the Club cannot be everything to everybody, it does provide a base of support for most radio interests.
Within the membership of the club are many of the prominent "doers" and "shakers" of Pacific Northwest Amateur Radio. Members are encouraged to be "active" in the Hobby, the Club, and the Community. The Mike & Key is considered a general regional club, many members are also members of more specific clubs or their local emergency services oriented club.
