[PPRAANet] Colorado "Amateur Call Letter" license plate, initial and annual fees.

[Steve Schaarschmidt]

I've had mine for so long (2004?) that I don't really recall any of the
process... two vehicles ago.
(I had the older design five vehicles ago in the '90s, and I THOROUGHLY
forget how that went.)
Probly got these plates at Centennial Hall when that GoG location was still
the Intel factory.
(This last sentence falls into the category of what I call "old timer
directions,"
  such as, "Go onto Fort Carson and follow that one road past where the
mule barn usedta be.")
I do remember the price of $2.00, a token sum that appreciates Hams'
SERVICE.
My present car is old enuf (2007) that I just (yesterday) paid $81 and
change for new tags, BtW.
Sorry, I have been ZERO help to you first-timers!   :-)   Anyhow, I do feel
that it's worth some hassle.
