Amateur radio conspiracy theory?

I've contemplated getting a callsign plate from time to time. This really chills that desire. I guess I'll just have to go with a bumper sticker.

Not to mention it's totally silly - they can get lists from the FCC if they want to know who's licensed in the area.

Too bad we can't get NNN AAA vanity plates - 762 FAL would be just too cool! I envy whoever got that one in the luck of the draw.

No conspiracy theory.

For those that "are chilled" by this thought, and avoiding getting a call sign....

When you get a call sign, your name and address become publicly available on the internet for everyone any how.

This is straight OEM stuff, and justifies the cheap plate.

ROFL!... mclean, just in case you're wondering, joerocket's joking (or, at least, I'm 95% sure he is).

We all respect you LEO's that want to keep your department affiliation quiet due to possible discrimination or discipline by superiors, as has happened to Morris. We want you to stick around and give your honest opinion on things; as such, it's pretty much necessary that you keep your dept. anon on the boards. If you decide to let us know in person at a lunch, that's probably not an issue, but just stay safe - both from your peers/superiors and the BG's.

I second this. By all means I was joking. Thanks for the backup on that just_a_car. I didn't even think that it might come across like we were actively trying to find out who he really is.
