Well tomorrow is the Extra Exam. I've been studying hard. I hope next time i post I will be waiting to see my upgrade on the FCC website! The learning never stops tho! I've come a long way since my CB days.
It's funny. My Elmer stayed tech for years and then we got General the same day and now i'll be passing him. If I pass. In license class only. He is a true 1% Ham Operator. Maybe youve heard his call K5UOT from Clovis NM? He has one of those broadcast voices and he can talk for hours about nothing. Ah the gift of Gab. I have trouble while on the air and can't think of anything to say. Hows the weather, how is my signal etc. I actually plan on not stopping and I'm going to try to get my Commericial General Radiotelephone License. I checked it out on the FCC's website. The Amatuer service doesnt give credit for the commercial service. The question pool is available for download and looks as hard as the extra exam. Sooner or later I will have to learn Morse Code proficiently. It might be fun.
Good luck, I hope you make it. I talked a friend into taking the extra exam on the 17th of April. We both passed. It took one week for the FCC to post our new call signs on their site. You will have fun, don't get tense, it is not that bad if you have studied.
