The Basics

[Wire Weasel]

Just assumed certain things.

Oh my.... never ASSUME anything around here

When you ASSUME things you make an ASS out of U and of ME

Licensing in Canada is so much easier. Basic or Basic +(with honours), Advanced and Morse Code(which you don't need anymore although still a good idea). Basic and Basic + are the same except if you get 80% or better on the exam you have access to the HF bands but limited to 100 watts. To pass basic you need 70%, an extra 10% to have HF. Like I said much simpler.:w00t:

Actually Basic in Canada gives you 560 watts PEP on ssb type emissions and 190 watts on all other types. 10.1 RBR-4 (RIC-2 formerly)

Unfortunately, I'm not even a "new Ham", just a lowly CB'er who doesn't know any better.

I saw the CK part and thought you were talking about me and then it "clicked".

To be honest, I didn't even think of the "CK" part until I was checking for new posts and saw your reply right after my post. OOPsy - what's Cap'n going to say?

Then it clicked. And CHURRRRped.

Oops, brain fart. That's what happens when I go from memory.

Don't feel bad my memory wasn't that good I just thought it was more than 100 watts but I couldn't remember what it was so I had to look it up too.
