Chief Rick Posted May 4, 2024 Posted May 4, 2024 de KI5RGH/AG Edit to ad: There were nine people testing this morning, including two USAF airmen (their co-worker that brought them, probably not 20 years old himself, is already an Extra). I got my General, one advanced to Extra and the rest all passed their Technician exams.
Cheyenne Ranger, 48747L Posted May 4, 2024 Posted May 4, 2024 good job--my hat is off to those that know this kind of stuff
Marshal Dan Troop 70448 Posted May 4, 2024 Posted May 4, 2024 Congratulations. Its a lot easier to acquire a Ham License now then back when questions were 50/50. 1/2 being able to know Morse Code, answers given in code. Extra was the hardest. Passed first time by an 80%. I've given up Ham Radio, had a YAESU 401B and able to reach many countries. Was WD9FGX.
Alpo Posted May 4, 2024 Posted May 4, 2024 I'm going out on a limb here, and saying that there were nine people "Testing" this morning?

Will Kane Posted May 5, 2024 Posted May 5, 2024 Congratulations on getting your General. I remember when I took my General exam at Fort Sam Houston in San Antonio back in 1970, when I was a senior in high school. The examiner played the code test on a Wollensak reel to reel desktop tape recorder. It took me a couple of seconds to adapt to the echo in the room. Thankfully. that was during a series of Vs. 73 de K5JX
Linn Keller, SASS 27332, BOLD 103 Posted May 5, 2024 Posted May 5, 2024 Outstanding! There is a delight in reaching halfway around the world on less power than it takes to light the bulb in your refrigerator! De KD8NGE sksk
