$75.00 for 10 years


really, I thought it was 4 years.. but still, no test, no nothin, just
cash.. a way for the FCC to raise money. You don't even have to use your
callsign on the air. I was willing to get a license for 2 meter, HF, etc.,
because I thought it was important, but this is just a money grab.


That is my feelings too.

Nope, it is a way to regulate the Radio Service. If they have to track
you down, then they have your License Suspension to hang over you. If
you don't have a license when they track you down, then you PAY, Big
Time, for operating an Unlicensed Station.
For FRS, you are covered under the National Blanket License, but you
have no interference protection, and also no standing for complaining
about other operations on your frequency.
