Congrats!! Don,t rush into the General Class ticket, enjoy your radio's for a
while because it's customary to give your radios away to the first extra-class
op you meet if he treats you right when you become a General!!


p.s. I think you're awesome!!<More audio>

Congratulations! Glad you made Tech. It's a lot of fun, especially when 10 meters is cookin'. Unfortunately, it's been pretty dead lately... all the more reason to study for General and get more bands.

Thanks guys
I do want to get my General Class ticke but do to the size of my yard putting up a 40/80 meters is going to be hard... i will be working 10, 6 and 2 mostly.

Congrats

Yep, Good going. Now get that General. Its a whole defferent beast when you are opened up to all the new freq's. Tech is fun but Gen. Is grand! Dont worry about 40/80m right away. With Gen you can still have a lot of fun at the higher band and go a lot more places. A fan Dipole you make that will do 20 thru 10 including 17 and 12 can get you a lot. I dont work 40/80m because of my bed time plus 80m is so damn noisy.

Glad to have you aboard!

When I passed my Technician Class License Exam,
It took 6 weeks before my call sign appeared in
The License URL web site.
By that time, I had already passed the General
and was attempting to take my Amateur Extra.

It shouldn't take you more then 2 weeks from the time you passed your Technician until you pass your General if you read the book and study the material.

Congratulations ..
You might want to check out an app for a smart phone or a pc called Echolink ..it's free and turns your cell or pc into a uhf/vhf radio with voip .

It's linked to repeaters all over the world and to other hams as well .

Enjoy the hobby and hope to catch you on the air one day
