A Roman Catholic priest in my hometown years ago, when John Kennedy was
running for president, had license plates that read: 4 JK. This priest
name was Jan Kish, so it was just his initials, However, in the heated
political climate of the day, many who should have known better
interpreted it as a political statement and evidence of Catholic
solidarity. Kennedy's religion, of course, was a campaign issue. 73

A urologist in my town had "PPMD" on his Porsche about 40 years ago.
Long ago retired.

It was on a Honda Accord...

In the far distant past, the plate on a Datsun read "Dashes"... CW op

Subject: [Elecraft] OT: Call letter license plate trivia
Montana has a $25 vanity plate fee, regardless of what the plate
"says",
-but- ham radio plates are exempt.
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.
