-------------------------------------
PLEASE NOTE: IF YOU GOOGLE W4RP ONLY RESULTS ASSOCIATED WITH AMATEUR RADIO ARE CORRECT.
==================================================================================
Here is a picture of the
Tags issued by the state of Florida for my auto.
They issue a license plate with your callsign if you are an amateur radio
operator (for $2).
In Florida, you are
required to have a new physical tag every 5 years.
So every 5 years, I get a new one (different design) and hang the old one on the
wall.
A sample of my auto Tags - the
first 2 are in the Garage - Of the four here, 3 are University of Central
Florida Tags with my callsign.
My current tag (on my car) is an "Endless Summer" Florida specialty plate with
W4RP, of course.
