I see that as of January 1, the ARRL VEC-coordinated Amateur Radio
examination sessions fee will rise from $12 to $14. The VE teams may
retain up to $6 of this fee to reimburse the out-of-pocket test expenses.


Is this appropriate?

What about "volunteer" doesn't the FCC understand?

And if they're worried about their gas money, I think they can claim 31
cents per mile on their federal income tax returns for travel incurred
while volunteering.

You asked.

WRONG: Volunteer (charitable) work only gets 14 cents per mile.

You couldn't even get that correct.

Which, assuming you're in a 28% tax bracket, only works out to a tax savings of
$.04 per mile. You better have a damned economical car or you're losing money
on that deal!

Now that's the spirit of Volunteerism! Maybe the FCC will let the
American Red Cross handle amateur testing. They allow more on mileage.
Hi!

We need to get the government back into governing/regulating and out of
charity work. They suck at it.

Direct jump to "Snide Mode".

Guess you missed the part where he said "...I think"...indicating
that even he wasn't sure and was acknowledging that in advance.

Go back to your Windmill Tilting Contest, Dieter.

Maybe so, but he wasn't even close. Had he said $0.12/mile, which was an OLD
rate for this, I wouldn't have been as snide.
