Al Perkins: Don't them then grind you down! The Extra offers some advantages such as some more frequencies you can use but sometimes I wonder if perhaps it is mostly an ego thing.
When I took the Extra exam it impressed me as being more of an IQ test than anything else. I originally had an Extra back when it really meant something, when you had to copy 20 wpm of junk, when you had to know some theory. Then I did one of the stupidest things imaginable: I let it run out. Shortly after that I again got my Advanced and then the Extra. I did this so I could use any of the frequencies without worrying about General versus Extra bandedges. . - Jim WB6BLD ______________________________________________________________ Our Main Website: http://www.amfone.net AMRadio mailing list Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ List Rules (must read!): http://w5ami.net/amradiofaq.html List Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/amradio Post: [email protected] To unsubscribe, send an email to [email protected] with the word unsubscribe in the message body.
