ARRL opposes new $50 licence fee
US amateurs have been exempted from application fees for several years.
The ARRL will file comments in firm opposition to an FCC proposal to impose a $50 fee on amateur radio licence and application fees.
Under the proposal, amateur radio licensees would pay a $50 fee for each amateur radio application.
This would apply for new licenses, licence renewals, upgrades to existing licences, and to vanity call sign requests.
The ARRL is encouraging members to file comments that stress amateur radio’s contributions to the United States and its communities.
