I have been operating under the understanding that it is illegal to use the
taxpayers' propoerty to compete unfairly with the private sector, so I
always make sure I'm charging more than commercial NMR providers in the area.

That puts my rates at 28 cents per megahertz per hour. (We don't get much
business.)
