Peter - thanks for the number, I will give them a call. I really don't mind the $2 charge, it's mainly having to nominate an FSDO that's a pain. But, as others have said, it's hardly the biggest problem in the world, is it? Still, a quick phone-call won't do any harm to see if it can be avoided since they already have all my details. And if it can't be avoided, I'll just pick the license up whenever I'm next in the US.
