Harassed for being a ham mobile

i used to get more grief from the cops..

wondering what the heck gear i had..that would blank out their radios as i was talking..

I got a few cool looks of interest when speaking of ISS also.

I never had though any major issues like you are describing.
 
When I first started working as a Paramedic back in the 70's, the county i worked for made us wear navy blue pants, spit shined low quarter shoes, white shirt and clip on tie and a BIG SHINY METAL badge. We hated it, kept telling the chief and commissioners that we looked like cops.

They finally kept the shoes and pants, but changed the shirt to a light blue and dropped the tie and badge. Then everyone started bitching that we looked like gas station attendants.

It all paid the same, so I didn't give a shit.

In today's crazy ass world I sure wouldn't want to look like a cop.

    I will not be there but hopefully by the end of this month I will have my New tower and antennas back in the air including my M2 6M5X. The old tower and all of my antennas came down in October 2023 during a Hurricane.
