<br>
CBC reports thieves steal specialized amateur radio callsign licence<br>
plates right off their vehicles<br>
<br>
There's a different kind of pirate radio situation unfolding in Corner Brook.<br>
<br>
Someone is stealing the licence plates of amateur radio operators<br>
there, right off their vehicles.<br>
<br>
"It's sort of uneasy because it's something we enjoy doing," said Kody<br>
Gardner VO1KJG, who lost his plate over the weekend.<br>
<br>
In Newfoundland and Labrador, amateur radio operators can get licence<br>
plates starting with "VO1," followed by a call sign. In Gardner's<br>
case, it's his initials: "KJG."<br>
<br>
"There's a lot of plate collectors in Newfoundland and Labrador, and<br>
these plates are fairly rare. You don't come across them very often,"<br>
said Gardner.<br>
<br>
"So maybe to someone it might be worth a bit of money if they sell it<br>
online or something. So that's the only thing I can think of. I don't<br>
think anyone has something against us ham radio operators or<br>
something."<br>
