Well, that was simple enough. EARCHI had a testing session this AM, and
I passed!

Well.. Congrats on Passing... I kind of recall how you feel..

You see,, I got my first license (novice) back about 1968, Then my
second (Fall same year Tech class, and remained stuck there for what, 38
years... Finally I broke tradition and visited Dayton, walked into the
testing session and did the paper upgrade to General, bought a TS-2000
and quickly found that unlike the hand held I used as a Tech.. It was
able to transmit on frequencies not allowed a General class licensee.

So.. I took a class, well 2/3 of it as I was leaving town, and the
Saturday before thanksgiving.. I fixed that TS-2000 so it would not
transmit out of band.. I fixed it using a #2 lead pencil and a dollar
store calculator.... (I got 2 wrong on the Extra Class Test)

Congrats on joining the ranks of the licensed.. May good fortune follow
you all of your days.
