You can buy beer at convenience stores here too, eh? In fact, my first trip to Wyoming yielded a very memorable moment: a drive up window for picking up beer, wine, alcohol of your choice. Now, *that's* service! No fee for licenses here beyond initial testing fees charged by the VE organizations. Dunno about those vanity calls, apparently there is a fee associated with using an out-of-area callsign or call of your choice. Vanity has its price? (o: Cold here across the border in VT, so no real difference there. Used to drive up towards Montreal back in the 80s to buy the legal number of cases of Brador for college parties (2 per person, IIRC). The alcohol content was slightly higher than our beer, so it all made sense at the time. Of course, the convenience stores insisted on no exchange, US dollars at par. Maybe we can get some of that back now. You do have us on the power level though, so I'm thinking of applying for a VE or VA vanity call just to be covered. ~ Todd, KA1KAQ (VA1KAQ?) :D ______________________________________________________________ Our Main Website: http://www.amfone.net AMRadio mailing list List Rules (must read!): http://w5ami.net/amradiofaq.html List Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/amradio Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.html Post: mailto:[email protected] To unsubscribe, send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word unsubscribe in the message body.
