Quote:The result of the negotiations between the AMC bid team and ACMA procurement has resulted in the headline entry price to the hobby of amateur radio rising:
● $75 to $115 (Foundation Assessment, Practical Assessment & Callsign Recommendation) for adults - an increase of over 140%, (WIA’s proposal was $49)
● $40 to $115 (Foundation Assessment, Practical Assessment & Callsign Recommendation) for youth - an astonishing 285% increase. (WIA’s proposal was $27)
