Hi everyone,
I'll be taking my technician test soon, and I am considering getting license plates for my car that would have my ham radio operator call sign on them. My state DMV has a program that allows specialized plates for ham radio operators.
My question is, what do you folks think about having your call sign on your vehicle license plates? And why have your vehicle identified as being registered to a ham radio operator in the first place?
The privacy issue is what I wonder about. Running a plate number through DMV takes some doing, but looking up a call sign from a license plate on line would make the information available to just about anybody.
Your thoughts? Thanks!
