Now this is FUNNY!!! Trash our bands by pushing BPL through, and then have
the gaul to charge us more to use them!!! If it wasn't so damn ridiculous, I
would be ROTFLMAO!!!

Well you ought to check what other countries charge for a ham ticket and
when it comes to temporary operating licenses -- you won't believe how much
they will gouge you for.

Vanity is expensive -- in all endeavors (;-)

Except that for many of us it is not vanity, but a means to an end.
After being forced to give up my original call under the old rules, I
couldn't get it back until the vanity call program allowed me to pay a
ransom to the government to "buy" my own call back. And now I have to
pay extra just to keep it. Really galls me.
