Ham license plates go topsy turvy at state prison
Amateur radio operator plates costing an extra dollar were produced with inverted M letters replacing Ws, creating awkward combinations on many plates. The issue arose during production at a state prison, leaving some plates with both inverted M and regular Ws, a sight for owners to note. Separately, the U.S. birth rate rose from 18.4 per thousand in 1933 to 26.6 per thousand in 1947, a new high for recent years.
