Hello,
I am an amateur operator, and when I lived in Illinois and Georgia, I
was able to get call-sign plates at a discount, since the state
recognized the valuable service provided by ham operators.

Now I live in Tax^H^H^HMassachusetts, and was looking at the RMV
website. It looks to me that the renewall fee for ham plates if $43
instead of $41, and it is due *every year* instead of every 2 years for
regular plates.

Could some ham in MA who has callsign plates confirm this for me? It
sounds a little extreme, even for MA...

Here's the web site:
