Back in the old days, a ham radio plate in Georgia was "free", there was no "tag fee" in addition to the ad valorem tax applied to the vehicle. Everyone else paid a tag free of about $10 - what it costs to make the plate.
Then times got tough and politicians greedy, and somebody stuck up a 5 element yagi in some rich senators neighborhood
so now instead of just a regular tag fee, we have to pay a "vanity plate fee" of $35 dollars, in addition to the regular plate fee of $20. $55 total.
And this is per year, not just the year the metal plate is made.
I would think it fair to pay a fee to make the plate, and then the regular tag fee there after. Perhaps the goverment doesn't think we hams are as valuable as we used to be.
I was wondering where all the ham radio tags had gone. Gone the way of the real QSL post card, I guess.
It just costs so much nobody wants to go there anymore. Do you still carry a ham radio plate?
