Bob:
Here in California there is a new trend... Car license plate frames
with call letters engraved.
i.e. "KA4993" (and often a city is indicated).
It has replaced the 'courtesy card' and alerts the police that either
you or someone who loves you works for the 'agency'/state/pd/so/fd et
al.
Any ideas what/who the above call letters belong to? A search of the
POLICE CALL 1986 (the new issue is out @$7.95 {radio shack}) shows
that all call letters of p.d's, agencies, state and federal, have
three or four letters followed by two or three numbers.
i.e. 'KXX123 or KXXX123 or KWO37-(Los Angeles 24-Hour Weather
Service, Mount Wilson, US Government).
The above letters (KA4993) do not fit this model. Any ideas?
Thanks, Bob!

as well as 154.905, 154.920, and 154.935 MHz.
The licensee's telephone number is listed as (916)445-
