[Elecraft] OT: Call letter license plate trivia

[Ken G Kopp]

After an early retirement from my job Rose and drove an over-the-road semi
for 5 years and a million miles.

Truck drivers are always getting "flashed" by passing women.  One morning
we we're passed by a woman in a white pants suit with the top open.  Her
license plate said "ProcDoc" ...

Lotsa such "events" ...

73!
