 If $50 isn't worth mentioning, will you be paying mine, Hans?

The proposal of $50.00 for 10 years ($5 per year) isn’t even worth mentioning.  Back in 1958 I think I paid $8 for a 5-year license.  In todays dollar, the 10-year license would cost on the order of $140.  $50 is a bargain.  73, de Hans, KØHB“Just a Boy and his Radio”™     From: D.J.J. Ring, Jr.

Subject: [CW] A Call to Arms  I just received this plea:  A Call to ArmsAct NOW to save ham radio!The FCC has proposed a $50 fee on all new ham radio licenses, renewals, upgrades, vanity call signs requests, etc.  Voice your opinion before it’s too late!The period for new comments closed on November 16th, but you can still reply to existing comments until November 30th.  Look for comments that align with your views and add your opinion as a reply.  Let's overwhelm the FCC with responses!73DRN1EA  ______________________________________________________________
