Hee Hee... !
I love it.. It's not just ham plates but any of those
personalized or "special" plates that cause confusion.

I have run lots of plates that came back invalid, and by doing
as you say, putting in spaces, or trying a different category of
plate, etc. they will come back OK.

Also, you might have commercial plates with ham call on them.
Now, what do they do? Run it as a "Auto", or "commercial" ?
Try both!

What usually brings the coppers on in force is when you run a plate
and it comes back valid but to another car.. Definitely something
strange
going on there!

Watch your back~!

Well, they didn't see you as that big a threat, otherwise they would
have *surrounded* you.

Hee Hee... !
I love it.. It's not just ham plates but any of those
personalized or "special" plates that cause confusion.

I have run lots of plates that came back invalid, and by doing
as you say, putting in spaces, or trying a different category of
plate, etc. they will come back OK.

Also, you might have commercial plates with ham call on them.
Now, what do they do? Run it as a "Auto", or "commercial" ?
Try both!

What usually brings the coppers on in force is when you run a plate
and it comes back valid but to another car.. Definitely something
strange
going on there!

Illinois has more specialized plates than any other state, so I'm surprised
things like Clint's "trouble" don't happen much more often here...

In Washington state, this can not happen. See their DOL personalized
plate section. Anything like K6LCS "K6 LCS" are reserved for ham
operator plates and will not be issued for personalized. Other states,
including Montana, should adopt WA DOL's method of filtering ham call
signs. In Montana, we have seen personalized plates containing
combinations of letters looking exactly like ham calls--to non-hams.

Hee Hee... !
I love it.. It's not just ham plates but any of those
personalized or "special" plates that cause confusion.

I have run lots of plates that came back invalid, and by doing
as you say, putting in spaces, or trying a different category of
plate, etc. they will come back OK.

Also, you might have commercial plates with ham call on them.
Now, what do they do? Run it as a "Auto", or "commercial" ?
Try both!

What usually brings the coppers on in force is when you run a plate
and it comes back valid but to another car.. Definitely something
strange
going on there!

Watch your back~!

Illinois has more specialized plates than any other state, so I'm surprised
things like Clint's "trouble" don't happen much more often here...

Well, they didn't see you as that big a threat, otherwise they would

Why do you think that this is such a big deal?Sounds similar to the old

Well, they didn't see you as that big a threat, otherwise they would
have *surrounded* you.

Hee Hee... !
I love it.. It's not just ham plates but any of those
personalized or "special" plates that cause confusion.

I have run lots of plates that came back invalid, and by doing
as you say, putting in spaces, or trying a different category of
plate, etc. they will come back OK.

Also, you might have commercial plates with ham call on them.
Now, what do they do? Run it as a "Auto", or "commercial" ?
Try both!

What usually brings the coppers on in force is when you run a plate
and it comes back valid but to another car.. Definitely something
strange
going on there!

Watch your back~!

Illinois has more specialized plates than any other state, so I'm surprised
things like Clint's "trouble" don't happen much more often here...

In Washington state, this can not happen. See their DOL personalized
plate section. Anything like K6LCS "K6 LCS" are reserved for ham
operator plates and will not be issued for personalized. Other states,
including Montana, should adopt WA DOL's method of filtering ham call
signs. In Montana, we have seen personalized plates containing
combinations of letters looking exactly like ham calls--to non-hams.

In Texas we have "Radio Plates". I heard that you can have the same call
sign on multiple vehicles, so I imagine you could have the same sort of
problem if at first glance the vehicle didn't match.

Why do you think that this is such a big deal?Sounds similar to the old

Wisconsin is the same way.

I can have WB9SBD on my motorcycle, car, truck, van, as many vehicles
as i want to have it on. thats gotta be a mess on their computers when
they run a plate I would think. never had it happen, but wonder what
does happen say if someone did have it on like all the above.

Illinois has more specialized plates than any other state, so I'm surprised
things like Clint's "trouble" don't happen much more often here...

In Washington state, this can not happen. See their DOL personalized
plate section. Anything like K6LCS "K6 LCS" are reserved for ham
operator plates and will not be issued for personalized. Other states,
including Montana, should adopt WA DOL's method of filtering ham call
signs. In Montana, we have seen personalized plates containing
combinations of letters looking exactly like ham calls--to non-hams.

In Texas we have "Radio Plates". I heard that you can have the same call
sign on multiple vehicles, so I imagine you could have the same sort of
problem if at first glance the vehicle didn't match.

Wisconsin is the same way.

I can have WB9SBD on my motorcycle, car, truck, van, as many vehicles
as i want to have it on. thats gotta be a mess on their computers when
they run a plate I would think. never had it happen, but wonder what
does happen say if someone did have it on like all the above.

Well, they didn't see you as that big a threat, otherwise they would

Hee Hee... !
I love it.. It's not just ham plates but any of those
personalized or "special" plates that cause confusion.

I have run lots of plates that came back invalid, and by doing
as you say, putting in spaces, or trying a different category of
plate, etc. they will come back OK.

Also, you might have commercial plates with ham call on them.
Now, what do they do? Run it as a "Auto", or "commercial" ?
Try both!

What usually brings the coppers on in force is when you run a plate
and it comes back valid but to another car.. Definitely something
strange
going on there!

Watch your back~!

Hee Hee... !
I love it.. It's not just ham plates but any of those
personalized or "special" plates that cause confusion.

I have run lots of plates that came back invalid, and by doing
as you say, putting in spaces, or trying a different category of
plate, etc. they will come back OK.

Also, you might have commercial plates with ham call on them.
Now, what do they do? Run it as a "Auto", or "commercial" ?
Try both!

What usually brings the coppers on in force is when you run a plate
and it comes back valid but to another car.. Definitely something
strange
going on there!

Watch your back~!

John, K6YK

Illinois has more specialized plates than any other state, so I'm surprised
things like Clint's "trouble" don't happen much more often here...

In Washington state, this can not happen. See their DOL personalized
plate section. Anything like K6LCS "K6 LCS" are reserved for ham
operator plates and will not be issued for personalized. Other states,
including Montana, should adopt WA DOL's method of filtering ham call
signs. In Montana, we have seen personalized plates containing
combinations of letters looking exactly like ham calls--to non-hams.

In Texas we have "Radio Plates". I heard that you can have the same call
sign on multiple vehicles, so I imagine you could have the same sort of
problem if at first glance the vehicle didn't match.

I've never complained about hams getting more privileges, voice, WARC

Who cares? In the following scenario, I would care! If I had the call
sign N1OCL and I moved from Connecticut (or where ever) to Montana and
then tried to get a ham plate for my vehicle, I would care. I believe
my application would be turned down by the Montana DOL, because the
Montana license plate number N1OCL already belongs to someone else, a
non-ham. We know the problem exists for this call. I've heard it also
exists for others as well. We suspect N1OCL is someone's airplane
registration number and the guy got it as a personalized plate number.
It perhaps is legal in Montana, but I still would be ticked off and yes,
I would care. Like I said in my first response to this thread. This
could NOT happen Washington state--see earlier post.

Well, they didn't see you as that big a threat, otherwise they would
have *surrounded* you.

Hee Hee... !
I love it.. It's not just ham plates but any of those
personalized or "special" plates that cause confusion.

I have run lots of plates that came back invalid, and by doing
as you say, putting in spaces, or trying a different category of
plate, etc. they will come back OK.

Also, you might have commercial plates with ham call on them.
Now, what do they do? Run it as a "Auto", or "commercial" ?
Try both!

What usually brings the coppers on in force is when you run a plate
and it comes back valid but to another car.. Definitely something
strange
going on there!

Watch your back~!

John, K6YK

Illinois has more specialized plates than any other state, so I'm surprised
things like Clint's "trouble" don't happen much more often here...

In Washington state, this can not happen. See their DOL personalized
plate section. Anything like K6LCS "K6 LCS" are reserved for ham
operator plates and will not be issued for personalized. Other states,
including Montana, should adopt WA DOL's method of filtering ham call
signs. In Montana, we have seen personalized plates containing
combinations of letters looking exactly like ham calls--to non-hams.

In Texas we have "Radio Plates". I heard that you can have the same call
sign on multiple vehicles, so I imagine you could have the same sort of
problem if at first glance the vehicle didn't match.

Why do you think that this is such a big deal?Sounds similar to the old

Wisconsin is the same way.

I can have WB9SBD on my motorcycle, car, truck, van, as many vehicles
as i want to have it on. thats gotta be a mess on their computers when
they run a plate I would think. never had it happen, but wonder what
does happen say if someone did have it on like all the above.

George and Cheryl,

So who is complaining? You? Harvey and I signed using our call signs.
I've never complained about hams getting more privileges, voice, WARC
bands, digital modes, LF, etc. Leaves more energy to be concerned about
hams possibly loosing privileges.

Who cares? In the following scenario, I would care! If I had the call
sign N1OCL and I moved from Connecticut (or where ever) to Montana and
then tried to get a ham plate for my vehicle, I would care. I believe
my application would be turned down by the Montana DOL, because the
Montana license plate number N1OCL already belongs to someone else, a
non-ham. We know the problem exists for this call. I've heard it also
exists for others as well. We suspect N1OCL is someone's airplane
registration number and the guy got it as a personalized plate number.
It perhaps is legal in Montana, but I still would be ticked off and yes,
I would care. Like I said in my first response to this thread. This
could NOT happen Washington state--see earlier post.

If you make too big of an issue out of this motor vehicle divisions around
the country may begin to treat radio operator pates as vanity plates and
charge accordingly.I would care about being charged an additional fee by the
DVR!

Hee Hee... !
I love it.. It's not just ham plates but any of those
personalized or "special" plates that cause confusion.

I have run lots of plates that came back invalid, and by doing
as you say, putting in spaces, or trying a different category of
plate, etc. they will come back OK.

Also, you might have commercial plates with ham call on them.
Now, what do they do? Run it as a "Auto", or "commercial" ?
Try both!

What usually brings the coppers on in force is when you run a plate
and it comes back valid but to another car.. Definitely something
strange
going on there!

Watch your back~!

Illinois has more specialized plates than any other state, so I'm surprised
things like Clint's "trouble" don't happen much more often here...

In Washington state, this can not happen. See their DOL personalized
plate section. Anything like K6LCS "K6 LCS" are reserved for ham
operator plates and will not be issued for personalized. Other states,
including Montana, should adopt WA DOL's method of filtering ham call
signs. In Montana, we have seen personalized plates containing
combinations of letters looking exactly like ham calls--to non-hams.

In Texas we have "Radio Plates". I heard that you can have the same call
sign on multiple vehicles, so I imagine you could have the same sort of
problem if at first glance the vehicle didn't match.

Why do you think that this is such a big deal?Sounds similar to the old

Wisconsin is the same way.

I can have WB9SBD on my motorcycle, car, truck, van, as many vehicles
as i want to have it on. thats gotta be a mess on their computers when
they run a plate I would think. never had it happen, but wonder what
does happen say if someone did have it on like all the above.

George and Cheryl,

So who is complaining? You? Harvey and I signed using our call signs.
I've never complained about hams getting more privileges, voice, WARC
bands, digital modes, LF, etc. Leaves more energy to be concerned about
hams possibly loosing privileges.

Who cares? In the following scenario, I would care! If I had the call
sign N1OCL and I moved from Connecticut (or where ever) to Montana and
then tried to get a ham plate for my vehicle, I would care. I believe
my application would be turned down by the Montana DOL, because the
Montana license plate number N1OCL already belongs to someone else, a
non-ham. We know the problem exists for this call. I've heard it also
exists for others as well. We suspect N1OCL is someone's airplane
registration number and the guy got it as a personalized plate number.
It perhaps is legal in Montana, but I still would be ticked off and yes,
I would care. Like I said in my first response to this thread. This
could NOT happen Washington state--see earlier post.

If you make too big of an issue out of this motor vehicle divisions around
the country may begin to treat radio operator pates as vanity plates and
charge accordingly.I would care about being charged an additional fee by the
DVR!

This is already the case in Florida. The Amateur tag is listed as a
vanity plate and you are charged accordingly. This state has hundreds of
vanity plates.

Hee Hee... !
I love it.. It's not just ham plates but any of those
personalized or "special" plates that cause confusion.

I have run lots of plates that came back invalid, and by doing
as you say, putting in spaces, or trying a different category of
plate, etc. they will come back OK.

Also, you might have commercial plates with ham call on them.
Now, what do they do? Run it as a "Auto", or "commercial" ?
Try both!

What usually brings the coppers on in force is when you run a plate
and it comes back valid but to another car.. Definitely something
strange
going on there!

Watch your back~!

John, K6YK

Illinois has more specialized plates than any other state, so I'm surprised
things like Clint's "trouble" don't happen much more often here...

In Washington state, this can not happen. See their DOL personalized
plate section. Anything like K6LCS "K6 LCS" are reserved for ham
operator plates and will not be issued for personalized. Other states,
including Montana, should adopt WA DOL's method of filtering ham call
signs. In Montana, we have seen personalized plates containing
combinations of letters looking exactly like ham calls--to non-hams.

In Texas we have "Radio Plates". I heard that you can have the same call

Wisconsin is the same way.

I can have WB9SBD on my motorcycle, car, truck, van, as many vehicles
as i want to have it on. thats gotta be a mess on their computers when
they run a plate I would think. never had it happen, but wonder what
does happen say if someone did have it on like all the above.

George and Cheryl,

So who is complaining? You? Harvey and I signed using our call signs.
I've never complained about hams getting more privileges, voice, WARC
bands, digital modes, LF, etc. Leaves more energy to be concerned about
hams possibly loosing privileges.

Who cares? In the following scenario, I would care! If I had the call
sign N1OCL and I moved from Connecticut (or where ever) to Montana and
then tried to get a ham plate for my vehicle, I would care. I believe
my application would be turned down by the Montana DOL, because the
Montana license plate number N1OCL already belongs to someone else, a
non-ham. We know the problem exists for this call. I've heard it also
exists for others as well. We suspect N1OCL is someone's airplane
registration number and the guy got it as a personalized plate number.
It perhaps is legal in Montana, but I still would be ticked off and yes,
I would care. Like I said in my first response to this thread. This
could NOT happen Washington state--see earlier post.

If you make too big of an issue out of this motor vehicle divisions around
the country may begin to treat radio operator pates as vanity plates and
charge accordingly.I would care about being charged an additional fee by the
DVR!

This is already the case in Florida. The Amateur tag is listed as a
vanity plate and you are charged accordingly. This state has hundreds of
vanity plates.

Originally this was almost a joke to me. But then I remember that my wife (who was in the
car with me) asked me - quite seriously - "Is it OK for me to reach into my purse ... " while
the original officer was back in her unit on her the radio ...

And from one with experience for decades in law enforcement:

Yes, if I was belligerent or otherwise not 100% cooperative, weapons would have possibly
been drawn. This could have been very weird, indeed.

SO - If you are going to blame me for "making a big issue" as I attempt to clean up the
mess that California has created with plates not conforming to CLETS and NCIC standards
and, as a result, you pay a little more in another state for your plates, well, I couldn't really
care. It is my intention to effect change so that no one else in California ever has to have
what happened to me Monday occur to them.

I think that is a responsible campaign on my part. QST magazine has picked up on it,
and will publish a piece on the situation. But I have to go - RPD is on the phone, returning
my call ...

Hee Hee... !
I love it.. It's not just ham plates but any of those
personalized or "special" plates that cause confusion.

I have run lots of plates that came back invalid, and by doing
as you say, putting in spaces, or trying a different category of
plate, etc. they will come back OK.

Also, you might have commercial plates with ham call on them.
Now, what do they do? Run it as a "Auto", or "commercial" ?
Try both!

What usually brings the coppers on in force is when you run a plate
and it comes back valid but to another car.. Definitely something
strange
going on there!

Watch your back~!

Illinois has more specialized plates than any other state, so I'm surprised
things like Clint's "trouble" don't happen much more often here...

In Washington state, this can not happen. See their DOL personalized
plate section. Anything like K6LCS "K6 LCS" are reserved for ham
operator plates and will not be issued for personalized. Other states,
including Montana, should adopt WA DOL's method of filtering ham call
signs. In Montana, we have seen personalized plates containing
combinations of letters looking exactly like ham calls--to non-hams.

In Texas we have "Radio Plates". I heard that you can have the same call

Why do you think that this is such a big deal?Sounds similar to the old

Wisconsin is the same way.

I can have WB9SBD on my motorcycle, car, truck, van, as many vehicles
as i want to have it on. thats gotta be a mess on their computers when
they run a plate I would think. never had it happen, but wonder what
does happen say if someone did have it on like all the above.

George and Cheryl,

So who is complaining? You? Harvey and I signed using our call signs.
I've never complained about hams getting more privileges, voice, WARC
bands, digital modes, LF, etc. Leaves more energy to be concerned about
hams possibly loosing privileges.

Who cares? In the following scenario, I would care! If I had the call
sign N1OCL and I moved from Connecticut (or where ever) to Montana and
then tried to get a ham plate for my vehicle, I would care. I believe
my application would be turned down by the Montana DOL, because the
Montana license plate number N1OCL already belongs to someone else, a
non-ham. We know the problem exists for this call. I've heard it also
exists for others as well. We suspect N1OCL is someone's airplane
registration number and the guy got it as a personalized plate number.
It perhaps is legal in Montana, but I still would be ticked off and yes,
I would care. Like I said in my first response to this thread. This
could NOT happen Washington state--see earlier post.

If you make too big of an issue out of this motor vehicle divisions around
the country may begin to treat radio operator pates as vanity plates and
charge accordingly.I would care about being charged an additional fee by the
DVR!

This is already the case in Florida. The Amateur tag is listed as a
vanity plate and you are charged accordingly. This state has hundreds of
vanity plates.

Originally this was almost a joke to me. But then I remember that my wife (who was in the
car with me) asked me - quite seriously - "Is it OK for me to reach into my purse ... " while
the original officer was back in her unit on her the radio ...

And from one with experience for decades in law enforcement:

Yes, if I was belligerent or otherwise not 100% cooperative, weapons would have possibly
been drawn. This could have been very weird, indeed.

SO - If you are going to blame me for "making a big issue" as I attempt to clean up the
mess that California has created with plates not conforming to CLETS and NCIC standards
and, as a result, you pay a little more in another state for your plates, well, I couldn't really
care. It is my intention to effect change so that no one else in California ever has to have
what happened to me Monday occur to them.

I think that is a responsible campaign on my part. QST magazine has picked up on it,
and will publish a piece on the situation. But I have to go - RPD is on the phone, returning
my call ...

This is already the case in Florida. The Amateur tag is listed as a
vanity plate and you are charged accordingly. This state has hundreds of
vanity plates.

Well, they didn't see you as that big a threat, otherwise they would
have *surrounded* you.

Hee Hee... !
I love it.. It's not just ham plates but any of those
personalized or "special" plates that cause confusion.

I have run lots of plates that came back invalid, and by doing
as you say, putting in spaces, or trying a different category of
plate, etc. they will come back OK.

Also, you might have commercial plates with ham call on them.
Now, what do they do? Run it as a "Auto", or "commercial" ?
Try both!

What usually brings the coppers on in force is when you run a plate
and it comes back valid but to another car.. Definitely something
strange
going on there!

Watch your back~!

Illinois has more specialized plates than any other state, so I'm surprised
things like Clint's "trouble" don't happen much more often here...

In Washington state, this can not happen. See their DOL personalized
plate section. Anything like K6LCS "K6 LCS" are reserved for ham
operator plates and will not be issued for personalized. Other states,
including Montana, should adopt WA DOL's method of filtering ham call
signs. In Montana, we have seen personalized plates containing
combinations of letters looking exactly like ham calls--to non-hams.

In Texas we have "Radio Plates". I heard that you can have the same call
sign on multiple vehicles, so I imagine you could have the same sort of
problem if at first glance the vehicle didn't match.

Why do you think that this is such a big deal?Sounds similar to the old

Wisconsin is the same way.

I can have WB9SBD on my motorcycle, car, truck, van, as many vehicles
as i want to have it on. thats gotta be a mess on their computers when
they run a plate I would think. never had it happen, but wonder what
does happen say if someone did have it on like all the above.

George and Cheryl,

So who is complaining? You? Harvey and I signed using our call signs.
I've never complained about hams getting more privileges, voice, WARC
bands, digital modes, LF, etc. Leaves more energy to be concerned about
hams possibly loosing privileges.

Who cares? In the following scenario, I would care! If I had the call
sign N1OCL and I moved from Connecticut (or where ever) to Montana and
then tried to get a ham plate for my vehicle, I would care. I believe
my application would be turned down by the Montana DOL, because the
Montana license plate number N1OCL already belongs to someone else, a
non-ham. We know the problem exists for this call. I've heard it also
exists for others as well. We suspect N1OCL is someone's airplane
registration number and the guy got it as a personalized plate number.
It perhaps is legal in Montana, but I still would be ticked off and yes,
I would care. Like I said in my first response to this thread. This
could NOT happen Washington state--see earlier post.

If you make too big of an issue out of this motor vehicle divisions around
the country may begin to treat radio operator pates as vanity plates and
charge accordingly.I would care about being charged an additional fee by the
DVR!

Originally this was almost a joke to me. But then I remember that my wife (who was in the
car with me) asked me - quite seriously - "Is it OK for me to reach into my purse ... " while
the original officer was back in her unit on her the radio ...

Yes, if I was belligerent or otherwise not 100% cooperative, weapons would have possibly
been drawn. This could have been very weird, indeed.

SO - If you are going to blame me for "making a big issue" as I attempt to clean up the
mess that California has created with plates not conforming to CLETS and NCIC standards
and, as a result, you pay a little more in another state for your plates, well, I couldn't really
care. It is my intention to effect change so that no one else in California ever has to have
what happened to me Monday occur to them.

I think that is a responsible campaign on my part. QST magazine has picked up on it,
and will publish a piece on the situation. But I have to go - RPD is on the phone, returning
my call ...

This is already the case in Florida. The Amateur tag is listed as a
vanity plate and you are charged accordingly. This state has hundreds of
vanity plates.

Louisiana as well, both in the upcharge ($25.00) and massive number of
vanity plates! However, you can't get your call sign on a regular
personalized plate.

Hee Hee... !
I love it.. It's not just ham plates but any of those
personalized or "special" plates that cause confusion.

I have run lots of plates that came back invalid, and by doing
as you say, putting in spaces, or trying a different category of
plate, etc. they will come back OK.

Also, you might have commercial plates with ham call on them.
Now, what do they do? Run it as a "Auto", or "commercial" ?
Try both!

What usually brings the coppers on in force is when you run a plate
and it comes back valid but to another car.. Definitely something
strange
going on there!

Watch your back~!

John, K6YK

Illinois has more specialized plates than any other state, so I'm surprised
things like Clint's "trouble" don't happen much more often here...

In Washington state, this can not happen. See their DOL personalized
plate section. Anything like K6LCS "K6 LCS" are reserved for ham
operator plates and will not be issued for personalized. Other states,
including Montana, should adopt WA DOL's method of filtering ham call
signs. In Montana, we have seen personalized plates containing
combinations of letters looking exactly like ham calls--to non-hams.

In Texas we have "Radio Plates". I heard that you can have the same call

Why do you think that this is such a big deal?Sounds similar to the old

George and Cheryl,

So who is complaining? You? Harvey and I signed using our call signs.
I've never complained about hams getting more privileges, voice, WARC
bands, digital modes, LF, etc. Leaves more energy to be concerned about
hams possibly loosing privileges.

Who cares? In the following scenario, I would care! If I had the call
sign N1OCL and I moved from Connecticut (or where ever) to Montana and
then tried to get a ham plate for my vehicle, I would care. I believe
my application would be turned down by the Montana DOL, because the
Montana license plate number N1OCL already belongs to someone else, a
non-ham. We know the problem exists for this call. I've heard it also
exists for others as well. We suspect N1OCL is someone's airplane
registration number and the guy got it as a personalized plate number.
It perhaps is legal in Montana, but I still would be ticked off and yes,
I would care. Like I said in my first response to this thread. This
could NOT happen Washington state--see earlier post.

If you make too big of an issue out of this motor vehicle divisions around
the country may begin to treat radio operator pates as vanity plates and
charge accordingly.I would care about being charged an additional fee by the
DVR!

George and Cheryl,

So who is complaining? You? Harvey and I signed using our call signs.
I've never complained about hams getting more privileges, voice, WARC
bands, digital modes, LF, etc. Leaves more energy to be concerned about
hams possibly loosing privileges.

This is already the case in Florida. The Amateur tag is listed as a
vanity plate and you are charged accordingly. This state has hundreds of
vanity plates.

Originally this was almost a joke to me. But then I remember that my wife (who was in the
car with me) asked me - quite seriously - "Is it OK for me to reach into my purse ... " while
the original officer was back in her unit on her the radio ...

And from one with experience for decades in law enforcement:

Yes, if I was belligerent or otherwise not 100% cooperative, weapons would have possibly
been drawn. This could have been very weird, indeed.

SO - If you are going to blame me for "making a big issue" as I attempt to clean up the
mess that California has created with plates not conforming to CLETS and NCIC standards
and, as a result, you pay a little more in another state for your plates, well, I couldn't really
care. It is my intention to effect change so that no one else in California ever has to have
what happened to me Monday occur to them.

I think that is a responsible campaign on my part. QST magazine has picked up on it,
and will publish a piece on the situation. But I have to go - RPD is on the phone, returning
my call ...

vanity plates! However, you can't get your call sign on a regular
personalized plate.

If you have to apply for vanity to get ham letters on your plate, then
they're not really ham call letter plates, are they, as they are in
Montana and Washington. I stand on all of my prior posts on this matter.

Hee Hee... !
I love it.. It's not just ham plates but any of those
personalized or "special" plates that cause confusion.

I have run lots of plates that came back invalid, and by doing
as you say, putting in spaces, or trying a different category of
plate, etc. they will come back OK.

Also, you might have commercial plates with ham call on them.
Now, what do they do? Run it as a "Auto", or "commercial" ?
Try both!

What usually brings the coppers on in force is when you run a plate
and it comes back valid but to another car.. Definitely something
strange
going on there!

Watch your back~!

Illinois has more specialized plates than any other state, so I'm surprised
things like Clint's "trouble" don't happen much more often here...

In Washington state, this can not happen. See their DOL personalized
plate section. Anything like K6LCS "K6 LCS" are reserved for ham
operator plates and will not be issued for personalized. Other states,
including Montana, should adopt WA DOL's method of filtering ham call
signs. In Montana, we have seen personalized plates containing
combinations of letters looking exactly like ham calls--to non-hams.

Wisconsin is the same way.

I can have WB9SBD on my motorcycle, car, truck, van, as many vehicles
as i want to have it on. thats gotta be a mess on their computers when
they run a plate I would think. never had it happen, but wonder what
does happen say if someone did have it on like all the above.

George and Cheryl,

So who is complaining? You? Harvey and I signed using our call signs.
I've never complained about hams getting more privileges, voice, WARC
bands, digital modes, LF, etc. Leaves more energy to be concerned about
hams possibly loosing privileges.

Who cares? In the following scenario, I would care! If I had the call
sign N1OCL and I moved from Connecticut (or where ever) to Montana and
then tried to get a ham plate for my vehicle, I would care. I believe
my application would be turned down by the Montana DOL, because the
Montana license plate number N1OCL already belongs to someone else, a
non-ham. We know the problem exists for this call. I've heard it also
exists for others as well. We suspect N1OCL is someone's airplane
registration number and the guy got it as a personalized plate number.
It perhaps is legal in Montana, but I still would be ticked off and yes,
I would care. Like I said in my first response to this thread. This
could NOT happen Washington state--see earlier post.

If you make too big of an issue out of this motor vehicle divisions around
the country may begin to treat radio operator pates as vanity plates and
charge accordingly.I would care about being charged an additional fee by the
DVR!

This is already the case in Florida. The Amateur tag is listed as a
vanity plate and you are charged accordingly. This state has hundreds of
vanity plates.

Originally this was almost a joke to me. But then I remember that my wife (who was in the
car with me) asked me - quite seriously - "Is it OK for me to reach into my purse ... " while
the original officer was back in her unit on her the radio ...

And from one with experience for decades in law enforcement:

Yes, if I was belligerent or otherwise not 100% cooperative, weapons would have possibly
been drawn. This could have been very weird, indeed.

SO - If you are going to blame me for "making a big issue" as I attempt to clean up the
mess that California has created with plates not conforming to CLETS and NCIC standards
and, as a result, you pay a little more in another state for your plates, well, I couldn't really
care. It is my intention to effect change so that no one else in California ever has to have
what happened to me Monday occur to them.

I think that is a responsible campaign on my part. QST magazine has picked up on it,
and will publish a piece on the situation. But I have to go - RPD is on the phone, returning
my call ...

Louisiana as well, both in the upcharge ($25.00) and massive number of
vanity plates! However, you can't get your call sign on a regular
personalized plate.

If you have to apply for vanity to get ham letters on your plate, then
they're not really ham call letter plates, are they, as they are in
Montana and Washington. I stand on all of my prior posts on this matter.

Because of the very-large roll ham radio played in the aftermath of
the 1964 Alaska Earthquake (9.2), the legislature passed a resolution
that any ham with ham gear installed in their vehicle would not only
get "ham call" plates but would be exempt from registration
costs. WE still pay any local personal property tax that is included
in Alaskan auto tags.

You only get one vehicle licensed with call-sign plates.
