Especially at a ham radio convention, like the DX Convention (usually held in
April here in Visalia, but cancelled for 2022. I think they jumped the gun, so
to speak...) I thought about using my receiver for an antenna mount, but then
where would I connect our travel trailer... I do have a short two-section
tower that is designed to be connected to a receiver, but it is for portable
use.

California is one, as I believe most do, if not all. It doesn't cost any extra
annually like the personalized ones. I have my call as my license plates on my
GMC pickup. My wife is disabled and in California the weight fees are waived
for a DP plate, but they cannot be combined, DP and HAM.

I do remember her, but only by name. I don't recall any interaction with her,
but do remember seeing her name atop many messages over the years (Since 1990,
or so).
