Question for conversation: Do you have “radio operator” license plates? Why?

two good reasons to get plates
- advertises the hobby
- in times of emergency, plates identify vehicle as an “emergency comms vehicle” that can go places the general public cannot

I have plates
- Proud to be a Ham radio operator!
- Starts conversations: “Is your husband a Ham?” “No, I’m the Ham!” :)

Robertson County ARES weekly meeting
- Thu 2022-08-11 20:00
- W5KVN repeater in Franklin
Do not have plates, but considering getting them!

I have plates
- Gift from my Dad (KG5UZA)
  - Plates were free, but he got me the radio inside
- Makes it easy to remember my license plate number if I have to give it out
- Easy to recognize fellow operators on the road (so drive friendly!)

Need some help with AllStar node
- ClearNode will connect to the local node (443.475 WA5AIR repeater), but gets kicked off automatically
- Not having this issue with other nodes
