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

[Dennis N0ABC]

Thought I'd follow-up on this.

I got my last/current one (old style green) back in '98. And I went 
through the office NW corner Research and Union. The person knew what 
they were doing.

If it were me, going for my first one, I'd go into the office of my 
choice (the one mentioned seems big enough to have SOMEone who knows 
what to do!), carrying a printout of the info below, from their web 
site. It does show the specific Colorado Revised Statute to show to the 
clerk. Although I'm sure you can get away with just the "Reference Copy" 
of your license, I'd suggest having a printout of the "Official Copy" of 
your license, obtainable at 
https://www.fcc.gov/wireless/support/knowledge-base/universal-licensing-system-uls-resources/how-obtain-official 
.

If the clerk acts at all hesitant or shows that they don't have a clue, 
ask them to check with their supervisor to help them through the 
process. Every year, for each registration, they charge us a $4.00 
"Clerk Hire Fee" so it oughta be good for something!
