For one, I'm male. And for two, that's what the FCC assigned me and I don't feel like paying to have a vanity.

Hun a term of endearment, typically for men but not limited to men. It must really be a Baltimore thing, and I must really be a Marylaner now

 

[fireman0688]

I think it really is a Baltimore thing.

"Hun." Hmmmm. Hun.



Yep, that's definitely a feminine term.



Ain't that right, Mr. Atilla?

Well I spent a few weeks reading through the ARRL ham radio license guide and doing the online tests at several sites and sat for the Technician exam on 10/12 and scored 100%. Now on to the General....

Recently passed my Technical test but getting my call letters is delayed because of the shut down. Our C.E.R.T. group want to used the M944 a command/communication vehicle. Perhaps using the S.E.E. as a repeater deployment vehicle.

After living a few miles from the site of the largest HAMvention in the world I figured it was about time to get mine. My boss is teaching a class for a local CERT in January and we take the Technician Class test right after for $15 outside Cincinnati.

Evidently the craze now is the Baofeng 2 meter radios for $35 each.

General class.

Just bought a used Yaesu FT-2000 off a local Ham, I plan on putting the Kenwood TS-480SAT that it replaced in this M923 I might buy.

 

[swbradley1]

Okay the class was postponed but since I wanted to take the test I checked and they had an exam about 60 miles from work so I went.

I took the Tech then General then Extra. I did expect to pass the first two and was surprised how well I did on the Extra without studying. I'll study and take it in two weeks.

I studied four hours last Sat and four more Monday night and got a couple hours in during work and that was it. I would say I'm a quick study but I'm not. I started in a TV shop repairing radios and TVs at 13 and by the time I graduated HS I had had two years of formal schooling and then the Navy training in electronics.

Guess I'll see what the FCC gives me in a few days.

Congrats on passing your tests!
