[Nodxa] Amateur License Plates

[Glenn Williams]

I think it's sort of like that, plus they might have no access to a 
computer on the Internet while at their worksite, and getting to the 
correct non-trivial FCC web page would be troublesome and take too much 
time since ham plate renewals probably come intermittently so they would 
not leave a computer open to the license page.  Remember what terminals 
you see in a local BMV. And finally their bosses may not want them to 
take the time to do that since they are renewing tens of thousands a 
week. With a piece of paper they can trash that in 5 seconds.

I don't know the differences between lists.contesting.com and 
contesting.com.

It's been snowing in Avon for the last 45 minutes (now 11:30 a.m.).

The DMV in Columbus told me that they have been asked by the FCC to require a copy of the license so they (the DMV and the FCC) can verify that the Amateur Radio license has not expired, or revoked.I argued with them that this information is available online to verify that the license is still current but they wouldn't hear of it.  Maybe they will come to their senses one of these days.
