Yes, I was a browser instead of a reading for details person yesterday. I didn't catch it was a paper copy. I am not sure Bruce has ARO, but it does have his callsign and it's printed not stamped (almost 100% sure). I do believe he has returned from down south so might have to look later today.

Michael,

The lack of a slashed zero on the 30 day paper tag really isn’t an issue because that paper tag is never displayed on the vehicle.  You are instructed to keep your old plate on the vehicle until the new tag arrives and just carry the paper tag in the vehicle along with the registration.  In my case, the paper tag would have expired 14 days before my existing license plate. It is kind of redundant since the registration provides proof that you have registered your vehicle for the next year.  The paper tag would be more relevant if you were getting your first ARO tag.

My plates were from 3 generations ago when the plates were stamped with raised lettering.  Since then there has been a light blue plate with the Kansas Seal and 3 x 3 black printed characters, then 7 characters, and now the Blue and Yellow plates with printed characters.

I am curious how WCØAA has a non-metallic ARO license plate.

WC0AA got his new tag some time ago (past two years). It has the slashed zero and is not a metal tag. I hazard a guess that the person in MS Co. treasurer's office just wasn't smart enough or wanted to take the time to figure out how to get the slashed zero character. I'd take the tag back especially if you had requested the slashed zero on some form (that I assume you had to fill out). It's definitely possible.

My paper tag did not have a slashed zero but the metal tag does.  Maybe they didn’t start issuing the new ARO tags until this year so Nate and I are the first ones to get the new ARO tag.  I don’t know if Farren has an ARO tag.

The vehicle classification is across the bottom of the tag.
