 LIKE A  GEORIA  TEMPORARY-USE  ANTIQUE  AUTO  LICENSE
 
A good idea

But there's worry/fret over driving this through the FCC bureaucracy
mountain.  Turns out Regional chief here's a ham & our age.  Think
there's a possibility in that pile.

Chief's predecessor a ham too to whom I addressed question of running
a ASB-7 4kw-pulse radar on 500mcs "for practice."  Fone response came 
"HMMM hmmm hmmm, page-flip-flippity-flip, 'just don't aim beam at 
Somerset, KY.  That's closest channel 41 & it'd be just YOUR luck 
that Nova radar program would be on'"

In other words, who'd notice?  But a fcc waiver card would be better.
