sure wish eham would make all forums open to those who use their actual callsign as id, and had a newbie /anonymous / non-ham section for those who want to chime in without a callsign.

I sure wish the FCC would bring back something that looked like a test to obtain the license. 

This is the License forum. 

Your issue belongs in the Site Talk forum.

Your not going to do anything about it. 

Just like your cable bill or your cell phone bill.  You pay it or it's shut off.

I hope they make it 100.00 bucks a month. 

I would have no problem with that. 

As a ham bootlegger with no ID Im sure your constant hot air blabbering wouldnt touch your wallet.
Pretty soon you will have every EHAM Forum category polluted with your crap
I'll bet you that you never guessed that one day you'd be called a Prophet!! You were SO correct and now we have to "Ignore" him. ... sigh ...  :'(

$35 for a ten year license is less than a penny a day.
9.58904109589 cents to be exact.
Even a Penny Pincher has no reason to complain about that.

But a troler will find several reasons to satisfy his OCS (Oppositional Conversational Style) affliction. Its a known issue, look it up.

It's less than a penny a day Carl?  What's wrong with that?

Not exactly exact, but off only by an order of magnitude.

Well when you are a looser living on social security, every penny counts.

Well if you are a looser living on social security, and every penny counts, you would not have internet or ham radio.  I would be more concerned with food and shelter, so your right.

2105: "Well when you are a looser living on social security, every penny counts." 

That hurt! I could write a book on my accomplishments during my 86+ years and I don't consider myself a looser, thank you. At one point of my life I was working 1 full time and 3 part time jobs to provide us a livable future with savings and investments.  Those are dwindling with each year that passes so, needless to say, no big purchases in sight.

We got our tickets in the early 60's when times were a lot better than the way it'll be in the very near future with higher taxes in sight and blue cities needing rebuilt with those funds, and being on a fixed income, we won't be doing any big buck spending. There's too many 'grasshoppers' out there that we have to feed and house which puts the squeeze on most hard worker's wallets.

The "penny a day" is ok for us, but I'd have to see proof of a license from you before I could even try to think you aren't completely without cranial filler. (No, that isn't sarcasm, it's realism.) No offense, of course.  ::)

So you're saying that when you're a looser, you have to be tighter?

And I'm glad you didn't call people living on Social Security losers, because that would be reprehensible.

This train is about to flip.  I never called anybody a looser.  Charlie you are violating the order of protection you put on me. 

Everyone just take a deep breath and relax.  You guys get all wound up too tight.

A bit of grammar from a retired teacher:

Loser is a person who does not win a contest or a trial, etc.

Looser is what happens to a nut when I turn the wrench counter-clockwise (unless it's an old Chrysler product!!).

Just thought y'all would like to know. (Yes, I know y'all ain't good grammar, but I live in the Mid South!)

'nuff said!
