Pikachu always abides by FCC part 97 regulations. He'd never use a profane or offensive word on the air.

See, the bear thinks of ham entirely differently and it makes him hungry and demanding.

Pikachu is a herbivore.

No way, he's not some damn hippie. Pikachu just lacks dietary enzymes to process meat. He likes tasting it from time to time though.

I'm just curious why Pikachu is wearing his/your Notacon 3 speaker's credential to field day? Wouldn't brandishing his ham license make more sense?

well, he's always wearing it.

And since the early '90s you haven't had to carry a copy of your license on your person. Mine's in a file folder in my filing cabinet marked "ham radio stuff".

Ah, I'm not familiar enough with the ham stuff and sorta assumed it was like CPL, where it was a good idea to be credentialed up all the time.

In the days of police scanner restrictions in motor vehicles (licensed hams only), it was always a good idea. Nowadays (this is in the last year or less) not so much. The FCC doesn't field audit your license, they just send you a letter saying "we got a complaint, please knock it off".

Technically, you don't even need to have ever posessed your license. You can operate the minute your call appears in the universal licensing system online ( http://www.fcc.gov/wtb/uls/ ). It's very common for newly minted hams to search ULS daily for their call, and use it the minute they find it. :)
