No, Mopar, the VEs charge. It used to be free at the FCC, but, for me at
least, that meant a 60 mile trip (120 miles round trip) to the FCC in Buffalo, NY, and one minute of perfect copy at 20 words per minute. When I had dropped my tickets and decided to retest in 1993, I believe it was under $6.00 for the session. That was 20 words per minute, but multiple guess. Now it is 5 words per minute, but the testing charge is considerably higher (don't ask me, I don't know. I simply showed up for the tests in '93. You don't have to score 100%). So, while someone may pay for the exam, that 120 mile round trip savings is worth something. Don't worry too much though. I hear the FCC is going to try to package the licenses in boxes of Cracker Jax. ![]() 73 from Rochester, NY Jim wrote in message ... wrote: West Coast Radio wrote: Sounds like you old pro-coders are getting upset!

They don't have me worried yet, Jim. Note to self: buy some Cracker Jax stock. Or they will come with the radio, you take the te$t and mail it back with a check. -- GO# 40 |
