First snow for 2021 season

Well it had to happen sooner or later, the first snow of the season, a
dusting here at casa-WB4SON



Now if that were all we would get, life would be grand.  But winter is
coming, along with brutal noreaster storms with near hurricane strength winds.  In fact, this fall, we have already had four noreasters (rain, not snow) and the tree damage to go along with it.

Every morning I get up and hope my antenna is still up in the air.

Yes you can get an Amateur Radio Plate on a EV in RI

I had obtained an Amateur Radio tag for my truck about a decade ago.  It
was quite an ordeal due to a lack of documentation at DMV, and their
inability to be able to enter the request in their computer system.  In
fact, shortly after speaking with the director of the DMV at the time, a
new form appeared that spelled out the process.

After 20 faithful years of service, I retired my truck this year and
replaced it with a plug-hybrid.  I was a tad concerned about getting the Amateur Radio tag converted over, but it was an easy process, all done at
the dealer.  The new plates showed up about 5 weeks later.  All I had to do was pay the regular fee for obtaining a replacement tag (the old tags were
beat up and did not identify it as a EV/HEV, which is important for fire services to know).
