RE: [DX-CHAT] Exam Memories
Yes the exam process was sure an adventure. In 1974 I had my Technician ticket. About 3 months after I had my Tech, I decided that I wanted to work CW. So I decided to go for my General. I was a member of the Hall of Science in Queens Co, NY. I studied the theory with others at the club and studied for cw through many hours of listening to W1AW code practice. I also listened to an old cw practice machine that had a tape on it. This was a piece of equipment from my fathers days in the Army. When I could copy 15 wpm my friend and I took the Flushing IRT subway to Variag St. The old FCC building was still there. Well anyway we approached the recepionist and signed in. There were about 20 nervous applicants in the room and nobody was sitting still. Everyone was very nervous and anxious to get it over with. Well, first was the code test and we all marched into the test room like we were going to an funeral. We were givin the instrucitions and at first there was some practice cw. Then the test began and at the end you had to answer questions. If you coppied everything, you could answer the questions. Then after I passed that I went for the theory test and passed. My friend also passed. We were very excited and talked about the experience. We celebrated and had a couple of hot dogs at a street vendor. We took the subway back home and put the test behind us. Well it wasn't much longer that I repeated the journey to take the Advanced theory test. The next challenge was the Extra test. The theory part would be no problem but the code test would require work. Well anyway, again W1AW listening and on the air qso's did the trick. When I could copy 25 wpm and took the journey again into Manhatten for the 20 wpm test at the FCC. After another nervous shot at it, I passed. These are memories that are very common with our fellow hams. I enjoy talking about it with others and listening to others. 73, Mark K2AU. ex WA2YMX From: Ron Notarius W3WN [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: dx-chat@njdxa.org Subject: [DX-CHAT] Exam Memories Date: Mon, 25 Dec 2006 12:08:52 -0500 Story I heard from many of the Pittsburgh-area hams, after I moved here: The FCC used to give their exams in the Federal Courthouse/Main Post Office building on Grant Street downtown. (They later moved them to the now-gone Holiday House building in Monroeville). The exam room in use was located right above a bus recovery parking location. And at the time, either the building had no AC, or it wasn't working right. So, one hot summer day, they had the windows open during one of the code tests. Between the usually street noises, heavy traffic, and noisy diesel buses waiting to start their next run, no one could actually hear the code test. The test candidates pleaded to have the windows closed and the test resent, but allegedly, the examiner smiled and simply said QRM! And then he walked out of the room. --- The first time I went for my 13 WPM, I was living in State College. It was term break coming up when we planned this, so the idea was that two of us from the Penn State ARC would leave in the middle of the night, stop by one other club member's home in Harrisburg to pick him up, stop and have breakfast in Langhorne PA, and then walk in, bright eyed bushy tailed, for the 8 AM exam. So of course, myself and the other driver left a little late with insufficient sleep, and the kid we were picking up overslept too -- his parents did not appreciate us ringing the doorbell around 4:30 or 5 AM! Because we were running late, no breakfast, but we did make the FCC office in Langhorne on time -- just (good thing there were no speed traps on the way!) We were all groggy... I washed out of my 13 WPM exam pretty quickly, the other two were going for theory upgrades to Advanced, and they didn't do any better... I made one other trip to the FCC Langhorne office a few years later. I had a day off, so I rode down with Dave KA3NQA (now KF4JGL) to keep him company. Dave was testing for his Commercial Phone ticket, and he was scheduled a little later in the morning. (And yes, he passed!) While he was in taking his test, I sat in his truck working some 10 Meter DX. I remember working EL7X on 25 watts, easily, and after making the QSO, I stepped out to stretch. Someone was looking over the truck with a jaundiced eye... asked me if I was a CB'er. When I told him I was a ham, he suddenly smiled and we chatted for a few minutes. Yup, I don't remember now who it was, but it was an FCC staffer (and a ham -- I don't think he gave me his call, though), and had I been a CB'er, I'd have been busted big time! (And I finally did get the card from EL7X a few years ago... right after I worked him, there was some civil unrest in Liberia, so my original QSL request never made it to him, but I finally tracked him down!) 73, ron w3wn Subscribe/unsubscribe, feedback, FAQ, problems
RE: [DX-CHAT] VU7LD
CW will never be dead. I got my ham ticket in 1974 and have been working CW ever since. So what if it's not a requirement anymore. Sounds more like a business venture than anything else. If you don't like CW, that's fine. But there are plenty of hams who enjoy cw. Too each his own. I agree with the other postings that predict that cw will become more popular. CW FOREVER Happy Holidays to all 73 Mark K2AU From: Ron Notarius W3WN [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: DX-Chat dx-chat@njdxa.org Subject: RE: [DX-CHAT] VU7LD Date: Thu, 21 Dec 2006 20:29:05 -0500 Sorry you feel that way Lou. However, I think you're grossly mistaken. If anything, I think the opposite will occur. Those who continue to operate on CW will do so because they enjoy it, not because they're trying to get their code speeds up to pass a test. It follows then that if it is enjoyed, it will maintain at least some modicum of popularity. CW is an acquired taste. Not everyone acquires it. It took me a long time to really settle down and enjoy it. I actually find that lately I spend much more time cruising the exclusive CW sub-bands for DX and ragchews than I do the Phone 'bands. Never in a googleplex of nanoseconds thought that would happen! 73 -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of lmecseri -KE1F Sent: Thursday, December 21, 2006 6:50 AM To: Shelby Summerville Cc: DX-Chat Subject: Re: [DX-CHAT] VU7LD clip But since CW is no longer a requirement for a HAM license the mode CW is not and will not be popular. clip 73s LouKE1F Shelby Summerville wrote: On 12/19, I wrote: I thought I worked VU7LD/VU3ELR, 12/16, 1455Z, 20 SSB.
