No more free ham ticket?

License and test and other fees are taxation (by another name) out of control.

See if there isn’t a private vendor in charge of such. Then you know who are the legalized criminals.

Haz-Mat Certification
TWIC
Concealed Carry

Are all the same vendor & process. Identical.

But you have to pay nearly $200 each time.

None is permanent.

(Same for airline TSA pre-approval. Had the others so it was funny — unexpected — to have no wait at all and bypassing hundreds of others in line. Dirty, tired and on the way home from oilfield).

FCC just playing catch-up.

Wait till they use Nellie Ohr as poster child to drum up new restrictions and higher fees.

If they start charging too much I think we will see a big increase in 11 meter activity.

I dunno. I heard once you go HAM you never come back. LOL

It would be nice to have more traffic on 11m than the usual “bye bye bye” crowd.

If they ever charged 1k for a ticket renewal, that would merely force me into becoming a mobile bootlegger. Band on the run, but still having fun. Yep, a fugitive from Jailer man and sailor Sam.

Not seeing a problem.

Laws against monopoly pricing (hospital, etc) aren’t enforced (any district attorney could file), and many tens of thousands of Americans die annually as a DIRECT result.

Other examples are un-ending. (Every illegal alien is a criminal felon).

I hope folks keep it clean. Manners and use.
Leave well enough alone.

I’ve a problem any more with the idea of “permission”.
Powers are reserved to the people.
(Gov’t screwed up any idea of impartial trust).

I read the .pdf, maybe not too thoroughly, but didn't see anything about a date for implementation if they get it approved. Any input? Interested as I'm taking the Technician Class today, and will be taking the General Class at the end of Sep.

I'm probably good to go, but curious.
