I just had to put the German part in. I originally had DJ0MBC, then we looked in the Netzagentur (German FCC) data base and found that DJ0BD and DJ0RD were free. I thought DJ0BD would be confusing in Morse so I paid my €70.00 and got DJ0RD. Unfortunately, the plate is tied to the car and car

Indeed, went through exactly the same process in CA a number of years ago.  Ham tags in CA are not vanity tags, they've been around pretty much as long as I've been a ham, back when all tags came in one flavor ... black with yellow letters. When vanity tags came along, they got their own field

In PA the Amateur Radio plate is $25. Prior to our current administration taking office, a "regular" vanity plate (of which I have one also) cost the same $25 but now it costs $80. So being a ham has some benefits. :) On Mon, Jul 16, 2018 at 11:49 AM Nr4c wrote: > In Virginia it’s not a

Hi All, My call (W7AQK) is designated as a vanity call even though it is the original call assigned to me back in 1955. Under past FCC rules, I had to give it up when I moved to a different call area. That actually happened twice! The first time I reacquired this call it cost me nothing!
