Ham Radio Test (1 Viewer)

Here are the pics of the FJ40 at CM06. The inside was completely filled with electronics; computer, a dozen radios, iPod, GPS, and just about everything you could think of. The view from the driver's seat looked like a jet fighter.

I wonder if he has a dual battery set up?

Steve, Mike
What was the approximate lag time between taking the test and finding your name on the ULS?

In the words of O'Niell, that's kinda "Ig".

Mine took about a week to enter the database.

Yep, I like HF, use it all the time at work, fun but not particularly reliable.and too finicky w/ atmospherics and sunspot activity.
I want to use radiotelephone, but see 2M as utilitarian and not fun. NOT that I wouldn't like to get my Technician-
HF rigs aren't that much- unfortunately, lots of "silent keys", old guys whose former gear is sold in estate sales, antennas are however a challenge. Kenwoods, Yaesus, etc.

Re; tweaked- out FJ40- too bad he can't HEAR the radios when underway, and can't TYPE in a 40 while driving , either - all that hi-tech stuff won't work too well in a 40!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That would be short for,....................

In the words of O'Niell, that's kinda "Ig".

"IGNUNT" n., adj. the act or state of 'ignunce', as in a lack of knowledge, care or home training, i.e. "Cletus was REAL _IGNUNT_ when he tried to JB-Weld that broken pinion gear.

Actually they're backing up pretty fast. Mine took about three weeks I think. There is a "movement afoot" to reinstate the morse code requirement - or at least that's the rumor. A lot of people are taking the test now - many more than ever before.

For those who haven't taken the Ham test, and want a class on it.. I noticed this in the CNM workforce catalog:

They also have the General class the next week CHWW 7064,
