Well it had to happen sooner or later, the first snow of the season, a dusting here at casa-WB4SON



Now if that were all we would get, life would be grand.-a But winter is coming, along with brutal noreaster storms with near hurricane strength winds.-a In fact, this fall, we have already had four noreasters (rain, not snow) and the tree damage to go along with it.

Every morning I get up and hope my antenna is still up in the air.

Yes you can get an Amateur Radio Plate on a EV in RI

I had obtained an Amateur Radio tag for my truck about a decade ago.-a It
was quite an ordeal due to a lack of documentation at DMV, and their inability to be able to enter the request in their computer system.-a In fact, shortly after speaking with the director of the DMV at the time, a
new form appeared that spelled out the process.

After 20 faithful years of service, I retired my truck this year and
replaced it with a plug-hybrid.-a I was a tad concerned about getting the Amateur Radio tag converted over, but it was an easy process, all done at
the dealer.-a The new plates showed up about 5 weeks later.-a All I had to do was pay the regular fee for obtaining a replacement tag (the old tags were beat up and did not identify it as a EV/HEV, which is important for fire services to know).
