AMSAT News Service Bulletin 215.04 From AMSAT HQ
SILVER SPRING, MD. August 9, 2003
To All RADIO AMATEURS
BID: $ANS-215.04
The FCC has announced that the new Amateur Radio vanity call sign
regulatory fee of $16.30 for the 10-year license term will go into
effect September 9. Applicants for amateur vanity call signs will
continue to pay the $14.50 fee per vanity call sign application until
the new fee goes into effect. The FCC says it expects to collect close
to $160,000 from 9800 Amateur Radio vanity call sign applicants during
Fiscal Year 2003. That's up by almost $30,000 and 800 applications from
FY2002.
Further details on the FCC's position and response to amateur requests
to eliminate the fee can be found on ARRL's website: http://www.arrl.org/
[ANS thanks ARRL for the above information.]
