CQ W9SIO DE N9IOG

[vakkotaur]

I've had my car long enough now the state of Minnesota is issuing new license plates for it. This should be no big deal, other than I have a state-issued piece of paper taped in the rear window showing that I did pay the registration renewal fee and that I am awaiting the new plates while still driving with the old ones. Today the new plates arrived, and tonight I figured I'd get changing the plates out of the way. Then I opened the envelope.

The envelope showed a plate with my callsign, N9IOG, as it should. The plate that was not showing should, of course, have also been N9IOG. It was not. Instead it was W9SIO. That's not my callsign. That callsign belongs to David Arnholt up in Moorhead, MN who was very surprised to get a call telling him I had one of his license plates. One of the plates he's been waiting for for some time from the sound of things. Tomorrow we'll each be making a trip to our local license bureau to try to get this straightened out.

Eleonora, I have forwarded your reply to David Arnholt. At least i used the address that qrz.com lists for him. Hopefully he will get that message, and will reply to you. You could also e-mail him directly. Just look up his callsign on qrz.com and click the 'Show W9SIO's email address' link. I hope this helps.
