Back in August, in the parking lot of an Albuquerque K-mart, I saw the following licence plate: 71 # MHZ (# is the "Zia" sun symbol, found on New Mexico licence plates & flags.) What in the world is allocated at 71 MHz? It's certainly not a ham band...per- haps government or commercial allocation? Hmmm. Not having a catalog of freq. allocations, I decided the easiest thing to do was ask the driver what it was. That's the sort of licence a ham would have, if he wasn't satisfied with just h(is/er) call. So, I asked. The fellow was puzzled. Plainly, he didn't know what I was talking about. That puzzled me. After a couple of more exchanges, I got things straight: The car was built in 1971. MHZ were the fellow's initials. Grrrrr.... Keep :^)ing, d PS: W9MKV, let me know if you see this. I'm assured that UNM is again able to post to the net. -d -- Always pay careful attention to the man behind the curtain. Duke McMullan n5gax nss13429r phon505-255-4642 ee5001ae@charon.unm.edu
