I have noticed that on GMRS it is less typical to state the alpha part of your callsign using the "International Radio-Telephony Spelling Alphabet" words. But I find it tricky to hear and remember (long enough to record) the alpha portion of a GMRS callsign. I seem to get the numeric part but forget or don't hear the alpha part. (of course I have trouble remembering a phone number long enough to write it down too) I think my brain's buffer must only be about 3 or four characters! Does anyone have any tricks or hints that help you, for newbies to more accurately hear and remember callsigns that are spoken quickly?

I'm purchasing a new vehicle shortly and will transfer my Ham call sign plate from the old ride to the new one. It got me thinking about call sign license plates. I'm guessing one can get a Ham call sign license plate, they typically are distinctly marked as "Amateur Radio" etc., for any state they live in. In Michigan they are treated like a normal plate, not an expensive vanity plate, as far as fees are concerned. To get one all I had to do was show my official FCC license to the Secretary of State. What I'm puzzled by is why no GMRS call sign license plates? It's a licensed service like Ham with an official FCC issued call sign unique to an individual.

Rich, When a record search of my license is attempted on the website it comes back as invalid. It was issued on 4/8/16 and is valid until 2022. It's WQXL581. Record search on the FCC ULS works fine. Thx Jim
