The Sonoma County Radio Amateurs, Amateur Radio Relay League (ARRL), and many individual commenters contend that the proposed $50 fee for Amateur Radio Service applications is too high ... We agree with commenters asserting this fee is too high to account for the minimal staff involvement in these applications and therefore adopt a reduced amount of $35 fee for all personal license application fees.

Not $50, but the $35 fee for a ten-year license is a good compromise.
Clubs with members who can not afford the increase should consider helping their members.
Thank the League ... and the others who commented that zero to 50 was too much too fast.
