Took me HAM test today.

[angeryamerican]

Sat through an eight hour class then took the tech exam. Aced the tech, no problem. So I went ahead and took the general and missed it by a couple. But at least I'm on the board!

WTF???? Say it ain't so......

Congrats sir. Now buy the HTOL Gemeral and get that puppy out of the way while the tech is still fresh.

Now Morgan can legally talk on the radio EXCEPT on HF (except for 10 meters)

AA go to www.k5ehx.net to get your repeaters near you or on a route between to places for driving and download them to the CHIRP software and then into the radio. See this link at PH for more

Make sure you filter out the non UHF/VHF freqs unless your radio will handle those

Next time follow this method and you would have passed the general too.

Yep, it works.

Now don't get complacent and wait around like a certain somebody did before he rediscovered motivation. Set the example, offer your women folk some kind of reward to study it too, HTs if they make General before you, or some special dinner out for Extra.

Sets the example for web site members and book readers too.

SHIT!!! No one told you? We all moved off HAM and are on twitter now.. Al Gore said the internet can't go down.. #shitisgettingreal

uh-oh.... I guess if I want to beat Tex, I'd better get off the cushy duff and get on with it.

Yep. Your questions have been Answered at PH.
