Now you know the reason we have the Ramen punishment. The offender needs to replace the grocery they spent by eating Ramen until those funds are replaced. The wife is about to start her sentence, I figure it will last about six months.

I agree. It does seem to be a random $ number figure. Maybe there are less people getting into Amateur Radio, and the $15.00 isn't cutting it.
Can you imagine not passing the exam the 1st time, and then next try say a month later you have to pay another 50 clams. Better study hard.
The initial (mostly around $14.00) fee that is paid is to Test, this is the fee the VEC Group collects to administer the test and file the application...Should you PASS...
Passing the test then the $50 will go to the FCC to process...
Be interesting to see if/when this passes Congress (which it will!)
Will the VEC group collect that fee and send it (How?) to FCC...or will it then be up to Amatuer to send...be interesting to see how this will work.
Any VEC's have any info yet?

Have you ever heard what goes on on 7.200? The fcc is supposed to use license fees to find and stop this type of operating. And their not doing it, so where is the money going? Somebody is playing music, playing weird cartoons, yelling, cussing, basically everything that isn't supposed to happen on a ham band. I'll bet they aren't licensed. Trust me, these guys are mentally challenged. Because, if they did get caught it would be a $30,000 fine. (I did read somewhere the fcc knows about it and are currently looking for them)
They must have done something about the QRM on 7.2. I haven't heard them for a couple of months now.
http://www.arrl.org/files/file/Volunteer Monitor/2019 ARRL MOU - final 3-12.pdf
The intent of this program is to re-energize enforcement efforts in the Amateur Radio bands. It was proposed by the FCC in the wake of several FCC regional office closures and a reduction in field staff.
Under this program, the FCC will give enforcement priority to cases developed by the Volunteer Monitor program, without the delay of ARRL having to refer cases through the FCC online complaint process.
The new Volunteer Monitoring program is designed to better meet the needs enumerated by the FCC in the changing arena of amateur radio enforcement and compliance.

According to Hollingsworth, Volunteer Monitors reported 2,035 hours monitoring on HF monitoring, and 2,856 hours monitoring on VHF/UHF and other frequencies during May. Two cases were referred to FCC.

50 plus 15 ,65 bucks not cool they shut down offices then want more while selling spectrums off.i think they WANT to end ham radio so they can sell every spectrum off.
I have to renew my physical every 2 years to the tune of 100 dollars. It digs in. Im retired n must work.adding 50 is not nice to add to my bills n im sure others will feel same way.
That head nut at fcc comes from parsons kansas 65 miles from my home sadly.
Lets hope fcc dont go sour like usps did

Some time back in the 1980s the FCC lost a lawsuit that challenged the way they collected license fees. There was a refund program.
Honest.
And then there were no fees for a ham license. They figured out a 'legal' way to collect these fees from commercial users and how to "auction" spectrum for business purposes.
All the while hams were getting a free ride. Since the FCC had thrown their testing responsibilities overboard a ham ticket remained free of payment to the FCC.
Funny thing about riding the gravy train. Before long the passengers think they're entitled to a free ride. In this case it took only (roughly) a generation and a half.

Who exactly owns the bands? A guy designs a radio before any of us were ever born. Then 1 day a government agent says looky we need to grab this,make money and take from our people?
Same people that stole from my dads elders .
