Nice going!

I hope you go for your General soon, you won't regret it!

Some advice I was given I"ll pass on. Don't sign off saying 73's. Rather just say 73. It is a pet peeve with a lot of amateur operators even though you will hear some who say it like that.

73 means "Best Regards" note that "regards " is already pluralized, by saying 73's, you are pluralizing a word that is already pluralized. I used to do the same because it comes from being in the CB world for over 20 years and it sounds good.

Hope to catch you on the Bands soon!

73
