This goes back to a comment I made earlier and was chastised for.? However
if by some freak of nature what if there was a "real" ham up there.? Imagine
chassing the ISS on 20cw on the other side of the?world.? Propagation
characteristics,?beam pointing, doppler correction, what grid square are
they over, pile ups, etc, the head explodes!

I don't buy it.

What I do believe is the current crew isn't that interested in making
contacts with amateur radio operators. ?That's fine. ?Operating the
radio outside the educational outreach program is ertainly not part of
their mission. ?I will just have to be more patient and hope someone
gets the ham bug up there during some mission and starts to make
contacts. ?I can wait.

I DO want to state again I think it behooves NASA and the whole space
program to try to get someone on that radio like a Col Wheelock
(doesn't have to be as frequent as Col Wheelock) to generate the
enthusiasm and excitement for the ISS and the whole space program
among hams. ?My 2 cents.

There is no pecuniary interest involved as I see it.

George and Cheryl,

So who is complaining?  You?  Harvey and I signed using our call signs.
I've never complained about hams getting more privileges, voice, WARC
bands, digital modes, LF, etc.  Leaves more energy to be concerned about
hams possibly loosing privileges.

Who cares?  In the following scenario, I would care!  If I had the call
sign N1OCL and I moved from Connecticut (or where ever) to Montana and
then tried to get a ham plate for my vehicle, I would care.  I believe
my application would be turned down by the Montana DOL, because the
Montana license plate number N1OCL already belongs to someone else, a
non-ham.  We know the problem exists for this call.  I've heard it also
exists for others as well.  We suspect N1OCL is someone's airplane
registration number and the guy got it as a personalized plate number.
It perhaps is legal in Montana, but I still would be ticked off and yes,
I would care.  Like I said in my first response to this thread.  This
could NOT happen Washington state--see earlier post.

If you make too big of an issue out of this motor vehicle divisions around
the country may begin to treat radio operator pates as vanity plates and
charge accordingly.I would care about being charged an additional fee by the
DVR!

This is already the case in Florida. The Amateur tag is listed as a
vanity plate and you are charged accordingly. This state has hundreds of

Originally this was almost a joke to me. But then I remember that my wife
(who was in the
car with me) asked me - quite seriously - "Is it OK for me to reach into my
purse ... " while
the original officer was back in her unit on her the radio ...

And from one with experience for decades in law enforcement:

Yes, if I was belligerent or otherwise not 100% cooperative, weapons would
have possibly
been drawn. This could have been very weird, indeed.

SO - If you are going to blame me for "making a big issue" as I attempt to
clean up the
mess that California has created with plates not conforming to CLETS and
NCIC standards
and, as a result, you pay a little more in another state for your plates,
well, I couldn't really
care. It is my intention to effect change so that no one else in California
ever has to have
what happened to me Monday occur to them.

I think that is a responsible campaign on my part. QST magazine has picked
up on it,
and will publish a piece on the situation. But I have to go - RPD is on the
phone, returning
my call ...

Louisiana as well, both in the upcharge ($25.00) and massive number of
vanity plates! However, you can't get your call sign on a regular
personalized plate.

>> ... What FM satellite really working with your HT have you presented to
the audience ? HI....HI !

There are now two topics in my life that I hold dear and serious - (1) is
not desiring nine cars full of armed law enforcement personnel to EVER be
behind a fellow ham's car during a simple infraction traffic stop ever again
in California, and (2) the statuses of the wonderful FM birds that we enjoy
on a daily basis.

SO - My immediate reply is, "I have successfully worked AO-27, SO-50, and
AO-51 SCORES of times in front of audiences at a Watt or two - LIVE and
without failure - what's the problem?"

(In all honesty - I did "fail" to work '50 in front of HRO San Diego one
morning. I calculated the pass incorrectly. BUT we later worked AO-51
successfully ... )

So 'cuse me if I feel a little defensive of my Personal Number 2 this
morning. I have been handling calls regarding Number 1 all morning ...

Clint, K6LCS
