[LCC] Amateur Radio License Plates in Louisiana

[Mark, K5ER]

Hello LCC'ers,
         Though not specifically contest related, this does concern most 
club members. Some of you may not have seen this yet, so here is your 
chance to weigh in on the issue.

         To be burdened by my opinion, since I was a commercial printer for 
over 15 years, simply "Amateur Radio" (13 characters) could be larger font 
size, and therefore easier to read for emergency responders as well as the 
general public, than the  (22 character) longer option.

         If you have a preference, let Gary know.

73,
Mark, K5ER
