I know a lot of people want everything for free, but sometimes things Cost and this should be one of them. I wouldnt mind paying for the privilage of having my Ham Licence.

Most Hams are happily operating without the $ fee, but how many would remain if the FCC required that upon application for renewal of  license, the applicant must sit for a written exam?  By imposing a written exam each ten years would be a move toward keeping abreast of the rules and regulations, the changes in technology, and safety requirements. 73, de ~ Vince ~ WA2RSX  Stuck on IOTA NA-026 The K3UK DIGITAL MODES SPOTTING CLUSTER AT telnet://208.15.25.196/ Yahoo!
