Years ago, during the 70's gas rationing in Maryland, I found I could get gas on either odd or even days with my AA3O license plate. ____________ 73, Jim - N4ST

BUT … I had a very difficult time convincing the local county folks that my "K0PP" plates were -not- the usual vanity plate they were used to issuing. It took a 200 mile trip to the state motor vehicle office with a copy of the Callbook and the FCC Part 97 in hand to get the matter resolved. At the time the prison tag shop foreman was a ham. They had no slant zero die and he made my first plate by hand with a strip of tape across a zero. He told me I was the first "zero" plate they had made … the die they subsequently purchased cost $97. Montana renews a plate with an adhesive expiration date sticker and does not issue a new plate each year. 73!
