Well, I hope they at least gave ya cold coffee and stale donuts! ?LOL!

It was hot coffee and sweet rolls! "Old Fire House 77" is part of
the L.A. Auxiliary Communications Service partly managed by
the LAFD. There was also a group of that LA Aux that was
meeting about something in another room so there was a nice
spread for everyone. :-) I had one sweet roll, skipped the
coffee in all the "excitement"! Har! I don't like most of the
huge coffee makers' coffee, usually too weak (depending on
the preparer). There was tea also plus de-caf for those needing
something else. If worst came to wurst, I could have walked
across the street to a large Ralphs supermarket and gotten
something. :-)

JS, "crow" is too good for them.

Indeed. Perhaps Seven Hostile Actions Robesin could take a lesson
from the book, "King Rat."

Good grief, everyone is making out like that amateur license
test is a *TEST*.

It can be quite difficult for anyone without a background in
electronics and trig.

It isn't like a whole truckload of college
exams I've taken.

Correct, and it was all meaningless without the code exam... Hi!

It was 120 questions, multiple-choice,
done in three parts...on a Sunday afternoon in an old fire
house now housing part of the Los Angeles Auxilliary
Communications Service, managed by the LAFD. It was
all of a mile and a half from my house, across from a food
market (Ralphs - no apostrophe) where I've shopped for
43 years. Too bad it wasn't snowing or I would have
taken off my shoes like them olde-tymers did. It is
slightly downhill (by about 30 feet) to it, but it IS uphill
coming back.

The Old Tymers have stories about those who didn't make it back.
"Bridge Over The River Kwai" kind of stuff....

It wouldn't be so bad if there weren't all these sunsabishes
waiting in the bushes to say I'm a "newbie, tyro, beginner,
etc., etc. in radio." Jay-suss. They can't get a grip, can
they?

There's one who has nothing to grip, constantly envying all others
with accusations of "Putz."

Nah...business will return shortly to the usual in here...
like in a few minutes...

Tick, tick, tick, ah, I meant dit, dit, dit...

No sweat on that, Mark. I did four test elements in 1956
for my First 'Phone in one sitting. Had to, Chicago was
90 miles away for me then. :-) On Sunday it was just
a mile plus down one major street. :-)

A full California driver license exam is 50 multiple-choice
questions. I've always passed those and have had that
license for 50 years. College-level exams are much
harder and not all are multiple choice. I've always
regarded EVERY day at work to be a "test session"
with NO "practice exams" to do in order to keep a
paycheck coming in. Food and shelter are more
important than any hobby activity...but some think
they get basic survival benefits "automatically." :-(
