      Hello Dave!

   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.   
      
    DD>> Nancy was a neat lady - who used to come to Cooking Echo picnics   
      
   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).
