I'm a VE and trust me...I/we don't see the spinola personally...it does
cover costs for supplies and that's it (barely).

I hesitated to post to this group seeing how much bs there is in
here, but what the heck, they're only electrons...

Guys in our club are charging a VE testing of $12. This seems
like blatant opportunism to me. The FCC says VE's can charge
a fee to recover costs of examination and apparently later
removed any limit to the fees (unless I misread something.)

Is everyone charging comparible fees or is our group just a
bunch of grubbers?

I am bringing this up as a troll. I am considering disassociating
myself from the club if the practice is not altered and I am
truly concerned that this is not the right thing for us hams
to be doing.

Your opinion is appreciated.
