Nice job what you have done is not as easy as some think it is, you deserve a pat on the back and the girl friend or wife should award you a new toy for your dedication.
Congrats on passing both!
Long callsign, or shorter callsign? Decisions-decisions...
Congratulations!
I passed my tech yesterday myself. I did take the general just for giggles, but I hadn't studied for it so of course I failed as expected. Give me two weeks and I'll have that one in the bag too.
I'm also getting an 857D. I'm going to use it both base and mobile. Just unplug it and take it back and forth. I don't want to leave it in my vehicle anyway. $800 is a small fortune to me.
