Confusers have pretty much replaced radios as my hobby. I do note cars
driving around my area with elabourate antennae clamped to the bumper,
or in one case, mounted on a receiver hitch where a tow-bar/hitch ball
for a trailer would normally reside. 

I dunno about other states - but Illinois allows using your call sign
as your vehicle licence number. I do note some of those around my area.
