   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.

   Be nice when he gets the Scrabble door ported to his current BBS sox.   
   I've already challenged him to a game.  Bv)=

   Yeah, I know. We lost a Scrabble player, Richard lost a life partner.
