Me and my buddy both passed on Saturday!

 

Heck yeh joker! I've been meaning to study up for mine but keep putting it on the back burner. I'll post up when I get mine. CONGRATS!

 

Congrats!

Right on! Which ticket?

 

good chance it's the tech license, like me...

i am trying to learn my DITs and DAH.... but dangit... there's too many of them... lol......

 

Yeah, Tech.

An 8 year old girl was there and got her Tech+ while I was taking the test. 15 wpm.

 

WOW!!!!!!!

 

WOW... "you go girl!"


The Tech test is still no-code after the change a few years ago, right? And then Tech Plus opens up a higher band but requires 5wpm?

I really have to get back into this... eek.

 

Way to go Steve.

Yup yup. You got it right.

 

Good job on getting your ticket! So, have you used it much since May? There are a lot of good repeaters in the Bay Area.

No, I haven't used it at all. I still don't have a 2m antenna. Too many truck repairs before money can get allocated for the antenna too .

 

I'm looking into getting mine
Does this mean you guys won't hear me on the superbowl AM6? C'mon 400 watts on citizen band is too much fun.

That's easy for you to say!

 

Just a FWIW bit of info. They are lifting the code requirement; essentially doing away with it. Most other countries already have. This will open up the hf bands to many more hams. I am studying for my general now. I wasn't going to bother while code was required. Not sure of the exact date; but soon.

Fishunter I'm going the same already passed the general and extra written and just waiting for the new rules to go into effect. I dunno about up there but alot of the old timers are really HOT about the code going away. Personaly I welcome it after being a tech for over 11 years. I already got the 4runner ready for HF with a ICOM 706 and a 102" whip with a AH-4 autotuner for 40-6 meter coverage. Will post picutures soon. Also you are in for a treat trying to run HF in a 3rd gen 4runner the RFI is horrible. If anyone is going to do this drop me a line and will give you the full run down on all the secrets to stomping out the RFI. Stock I was getting killer RFI on 20 meters to 6 meters but was able to get knock it down to below S-1.
