As a lot of you know by now, the new black-on-white amateur radio tags are coming-out from the Oklahoma Tax Commission. While readable, there is no imagination to them. I’m not sure if it would go anywhere, but I think we need to  design our own plate and submit it to the OTC for consideration as the state Amateur Radio plate.  So, in that vein….I’m going to start a ham plate design contest…..nothing to win, except the possibility of having your design as the state AR plate.

  Here’s how we’ll do it……from now till July 1st, design a new amateur plate and email it to me.  Members of the section cabinet will select a 1st, 2nd and 3rd choice to submit to the OTC. Remember to be creative, but simple. The design must be easily readable from a distance (unlike the current blue and white state plate) so contrast is a big deal. So, put on your thinking caps and lets design a plate!  

  Don't forget Green Country Hamfest April 13 & 14 in Claremore!
