Florida DMV Cuts Hams Slack

Florida DMV cuts hams some slack on license plate flap: ARRL West Central Florida Section officials say the Florida Division of Motor Vehicles has agreed to comply with that state's Amateur Radio license plate law. Florida DMV Assistant Chief Bureau of Titles and Registrations Gail Christy-Jones says her agency will process all Amateur Radio license plate requests and will recall any plate that conflicts with an FCC-licensed applicant's call sign. ARRL West Central Florida Section Manager Dave Armbrust, AE4MR, called the DMV move "a good first step." Armbrust said, however, that he doesn't agree with the DMV's decision to continue issuing other specialty license plates with alphanumeric combinations that appear to be amateur call signs. West Central Florida Section officials say they will continue efforts to get the State of Florida to reserve the entire Amateur Radio call sign pool exclusively for Amateur Radio plates. For more information, visit the ARRL West Central site, http://www.wcfarrl.org.--Dave Armbrust, AE4MR

Florida Ham/Vanity License Plate Problem

I work for the Illinois Secretary of State Information Systems Services which handles the data processing function of automobile registraion and drivers license information for the State of Illinois. For the vanity plates, if letters and numbers both occur on a license plate, all letters come first then the numbers for passenger cars or for pickup trucks all numbers come first then the letters. Illinois does isssue Amateur radio plates, but ham does have to include a copy of his/her FCC license with the plate application. While having to recall plates can be an "unpleasant" situation and screening plate requests for amateur callsigns, I favor Illnois'system which prevents the issuance of ham call signs to nonham motorists.
