Amateur radio, often referred to as ham radio, is a hobby enjoyed by millions of enthusiasts worldwide. But like any form of communication, it operates within a framework of rules and regulations. In the United States, these regulations are laid out by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), specifically in Part 97 of Title 47 of the Code of Federal Regulations. In this blog post, we'll delve into FCC Part 97 and explore what it means for amateur radio operators.
Yes, the FCC approved the $35 fee.
Yes, the rule change takes effect on 19 April. No, that does not mean the fees will be assessed starting 19 April. Before the FCC can start assessing the fees, they have to do upgrades to their systems and establish internal policies, and then they have to send a notice to Congress and publish the effective date in the Federal Register -- usually they give 30 days from the date of the notice being posted in the Federal Register. Today marks a significant milestone in my journey as a radio enthusiast and amateur operator. With a mixture of excitement and anticipation, I am thrilled to announce that I have successfully passed the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) General License exam. This achievement not only represents a personal triumph but also opens up a world of possibilities for me to further explore and contribute to the fascinating realm of amateur radio.
