Did we ask for HAM LICENSE ICONS?

What should they look like for each ... License???

Or this just more dumb idea? <my edit to add> Ladies, gentlemen and children of aaaalll ayyyyges - this has got to be the most unexpected serendipitous post ever for me, EVER. This IS the first thread that didn't lie in state after 30 days and fall into the archive of "WTF did What's is name say?" <LOL> - THANKS!

Send an email to Paul (at) AR15.COM with:

Your user name and either a link to your license or a .PDF/.JPG of it.

I process the requests ever few days. Your giving me the link saves me looking up your license myself, thanks. -- Paul

Good for you Goatboy.

Would it be the ArfCom BFL and tower, or a new one? If new, perhaps have it incorporate a microphone and straight key or paddles?

This seems like a great time to request submissions from some of our more artistically inclined ARF photoshoppers.

Maybe Goatboy gives a year of Bronze membership to the winning submission.

Well dang I guess I should have looked here because I halfway joked about it in the 1st responders thread.

Needn't be different icons for each level... just like the NRA icon, mouseover reveals level.
I don't want my call sign publicly viewable.

We've been joking for years about an Extra class restricted forum

Next question: How do we go about getting one?

Can we simply send the mod a link to our FCC page?

@Derek45 I think I still have some of the original artwork on an old computer.

I'll have a look tonight when I get home from work.

REACTors....the trailer trash rednecks of the radio world.

No self respecting amateur radio operator should have anything to do with them.

Yeah, I'm a snob. Deal with it.

Holy crap I didn’t realize REACT was still a thing. They used to show up at accident scenes with their decked out station wagons and try to direct traffic and such. Were usually promptly removed from the scene by law enforcement

I thought we requested something before?
An Extra forum would be cool too.
I just came home from a week in the hospital with my first ever diverticulitis attack, I'd have plenty to discuss there!

I like the ARFCOM patch.
I would take a couple, and a sticker if they were around.

As for the ARES dress-up guys, "nope, nope, nope".

I belong to ARES, but here in Idaho, it's a lot different.
Most of us CCW, which completely pisses off the ARRL guys, which I find funny as hell.
If one of the ARES folks showed up with a shirt and a badge, they would be summarily ran off-

The patch is nice, but if I had the artistic skills, a picture of Rambo in one of the Rambo movie spoofs with an m60 styled yagi in each hand might come to mind

Maybe some different colors for the icons to reflect the class of license??
Maybe a VE distinction..
I digress.. Let's not overload Goatboy.
