ARLA/CLUSTER: E.U.A. : "Amateur Radio vanity call sign " desaparecem em Setembro de 2015

[João Costa > CT1FBF]

Rui,

Faz-me um pouco de confusão pois as taxas dos " vanity call sign "
passaram de $16,10 para $21,40 por um período de 10 anos e agora vão
acabar ???  Quando só aqui a FCC arrecadava mais $250 000 e quando o
Congresso solicitou uma colecta de $340 milhões para o ano fiscal de
2015 e quando a FCC diz que ainda vai poupar dinheiro e pessoal
acabando com esta taxa.

Isto até me parece típica engenharia financeira à portuguesa, hihihihi.
