Yep, blew the numbers. 97 for hams and 95 for the other services. That is what I get for not paying attention.
Around 1972 I took the comercial class exam. I thought I knew enough for the second class at that time and it cost $ 1.00 more for the first class. Decided that for only $ 1 as I had to drive about 40 miles to the exam place I would try it just to see. I did manage to get the first class. Never used it, but had it just incase I needed it. NOw they have a general type license and it is not really needed for much frow what I have been told. At that time there were no exect qustions and answers, just typical ones. About that same time I took the technician ham test and passed it. I was too lazy to work on the code and not that interisted in the low bands either. About 20 years later I was working a job that gave me lots of free time if nothing broke so I got some tapes and started on the code again. Passed the Advanced test (at that time the only differance in the general and tech was the code speed so when a tech passed the 13 wpm he was automatically a general). Took about another year to get the code speed up to 20 wpm. I never did get a chance to study the written test but looked over the questions one time. Anyway passed it the first time. ________________________________ From: chuck wolf <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Sun, July 25, 2010 8:47:00 AM Subject: Re: [Repeater-Builder] OT: Licensing Exam Info 2.
