John,
The ARRL Regulatory Information Branch may have more up-to-date info, but
here is the latest file:
The following information is from the ARRL Regulatory Information
Branch files:
This report was compiled from data given to ARRL HQ from ARRL
State Government Liaison volunteers. If you know that any of this
information is incomplete, a letter to the Regulatory Information
Branch at ARRL HQ would be appreciated. Email sent to
2155052@mcimail.com Subject: "Attention RIB" will be printed
and forwarded to the Regulatory Information Branch.
NOTE: Most states require a copy of an FCC amateur license as well as
proof that tax has been paid on the vehicle. They also require
that the title is in the ham's name. The license fees, in most
cases, are in addition to the usual registration fee.
The asterisk indicates that the information is from 1986.
All other information is current as of 1991.
