Just got a notification that I have to renew my GMRS license.
When I first applied for the license, whether they were going to require renewal was still up in the air. I guess that's no longer a 'question'.
The notice is long and involved. Instead of just pointing to the form and saying what the fee is, I have to wade through FCC hell to figure out what's required. It took them 2 pages to tell me that.
First, it's clear that our Government is littered with incompetence. Second, it's clear that they'll do anything to extract $ from the public.

Finally gave up and decided to just log into my ULS ID. "Down for Maintenance" hmmmm, probably more like "Down while we try to figure out this mess."

Easier? Eh no. Cheaper? Probably. "I was goin' faster than I'd ever gone before, when I fell off." - 'Little' from "Little Faus and Big Halsey" "Microsoft is very sorry." - David Pogue, "The Missing Manual" series, Vista edition "Don't bother me; I'm clinging to my guns and Religion." - bc

Huh, I was actually astonished how much the FCC actually has their poo together. I applied for my new license and received an update in the mail within 2 days, the progress was updated online every few days and my approval took under a couple of weeks and cost just $13 for 10 years.
