I registered with Ham Testonline and a week later I passed the exams making it to General. I haven't gotten any equiptment yet but I'm researching now. I'll be looking foward to chatting with some of you guys and gals in the near future. I probably won't hit the register or get my call sign till next week.

Congrats on your General ticket, I passed my Tech, and missed General last month by two, after only a few hrs of studying on Ham test online. Taking my General next weekend.
Back in the day, as they say (whoever "they" are), I lived too far from an FCC office to take the General test, so I took the test for the Conditional license. Same test, just administered by a volunteer (just one, at least 18 years old and holder of at least a General AR license).
Passed with no problems.
About a year later, my family was vacationing in Long Beach CA and I got my dad to drive me up to Los Angeles so I could take my First Class Radiotelephone and Second Class Telegraph Commercial license tests, and I upgraded from Conditional to General on the same day.
Passed all three with no problems.
'Course, this was in 1960...

That was a BIG day for you then!
I got my first class phone when I was 16-- before I got my ham ticket, in fact. Unfortunately I didn't know about the lifetime First you could get and I was sent a lifetime General Radiotelephone. Haven't thought about that in years, it's in a box somewhere.
