## About this plate

THE SERIAL IS A FEDERAL CALL SIGN, NOT A YUKON ALLOCATION. VY1 is the Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada amateur-radio prefix block for Yukon, so the territory's plate grammar embeds a federal identifier and the registrar allocates nothing. Paragraph 10(h) carries NO amendment note, so it is original to C.O. 1978/120 and 1978 is an upper bound on when this grammar began, not its first issue.
