Now the truth comes out ! Playing Wannabe cop, we just had a similar problem with a turkey who so far I know a non-ham over in Ottawa County, he just got busted. I was on the phone one day with State Dispatch about an issue and I asked about the phoney cop case & I also advised them about some 3 guys from Illinois in a Blue Caprice, needless to say Starsky, Hutch and tag along was seen no more!
and every time someone ask me I said Ham Radio Operator look at my plate AB8RU Amateur Operator to help identify that. what on a 94 Dodge Shadow ? yeah right and I am about to hook up my Stereo as soon as the new harness is in the mailbox. check my web site I put it there also.
