Thanks. I am going to start studying right away for the extra. The issue isn't passing the test it is putting all that knowledge to use and learning what I am doing.
I have never even seen someone work HF so it all so new. I will be going to museum ships weekend and field day so I expect to pick up a lot there. It just scares me a little with all the band plans and getting those in the brain. I am going to get on k5yj remotes and tinker with those some. Talked to Pat today and he is going to give me to access. I appreciate the offer and look forward to getting together sometime.
