The price is different, and the "real" callsign plate will have "SCL" printed vertically down the left side of the plate in very small letters. (Special Callsign License)
Someone without a ham ticket could get the vanity plate, but not the SCL plate. You have to provide a copy of your license to get the SCL plate. SCL plates are also issued for commercial broadcast stations wishing to have their callsign on remote trucks/whatever. For broadcasters with multiple of these "semi-vanity" plates, a "-#" is usually added to the plates... "KBCO-1", "KBCO-2"... etc. (Disclaimer: I don't know if KBCO uses the SCL plates or not, just using them as an example of what I've seen on some remote trucks.) -- Nate Duehr, WY0X [EMAIL PROTECTED]
