[AMRadio] Fw: The FCC Has Ruled on Amateur License Fees

[C.L. Mitchell]

Well, something is better than nothing.  I agree that all the free time and expertise that many of us have provided over the years should have been worth more than $50.  Remember the song that goes "you don't know what you got until you lose it".

The FCC has adopted a decision in the matter of Amateur Radio licensing
fees — in a remarkably short time in comparison to other FCC NPRM
proceedings.

     The FCC, based on input from the ARRL and its Members, agreed to
lower the "Personal License Application Fee" that applies to Amateur
Radio licensees from $50 to $35. Unfortunately, it did not accept the
ARRL and its Members' argument that due to the services provided by
Amateur Radio that the fee should be $0.00.

Order.
