<div>You can also employ a DIY CNC machine
to make one. Some of the guys at Splat*Space have built CNC
machines that they use to carve off copper coating to make PC
boards, and to carve into 2-color styrene panels to make signs and
badges. You can then use any font you like and embellish however
you want. Something like a ShopBot might be a bit big and too
costly to rent time on (like the one over at Raleigh Makerspace).<div class=""><br>

<blockquote type="cite">Yes,
it's fairly traditional to have something with your callsign and
name on it, possibly an org affiliation. Some people have it on
their hat. Some have engraved name tags. Nowadays some even have
LED name badges.

I attended the recent RARS Hamfest at the State Fairgrounds.
Meet a

Question -- Is it common to wear some sort of nametag at those
Fests? I

notice a lot with ham ID badges on their clothing. Usually the
ID was

personalize so I assume they were not FEST issued.
