It seems to be you've really been earning your upgrade, and after the fact, too. I'm still a tech plus, but amateur radio came long after my deepest electronic education (provided by US Navy, and absorbed by me with a real zeal), and ham radio has always been kind of a side-show as compared to the electronic education I've gotten via plain old MW DX and also the Navy and VOA: experience. Maybe I'll hit the wall MW-DX-wise somesday, and then buckle down and really learn CW, or bone up on RTTY, since I can't talk. But congrats to you for learning bunches over the past few weeks. Thank heavens some hams want to advance beyond being 2-meter appliance operators! 73 to you!
