BJ to tell you the honest truth I'm afraid that I will become too satisfied with my Technician license if I get on the air and will not spend enough time studying. I am taking chemo for Lympthoma of the stomach cancer and the side effects are causing the tear ducts of my eyes to burn making it...

I was listening on PSK31 (Digipan software) and copied a ham from Perth, Scotland. Not having my General license I couldnt try to make contact. Shut my ICOM IC-718 off and spent the next few hours on QRZ.COM General exam. Can't wait for May to get here. Have a blessed day everyone, Harold
