I Passed as well

[thumper]

Took my technician test on Thursday, passed 33/35. I was happy. We get the free handy talkies next week, they are programming them for us. The week after, they are starting up the General class, I will probably take that too. That's another 8-9 weeks I like getting the comp time for going. The manager that went from our school district got 27/35. Had a good laugh at that.
I'll post up my # once I get it.

Have a nice weekend everyone.

Thanks guys.

It will be another 9-10 weeks or so for my General licence lol. Hey, I can't complain since it is free and I get comp time for going. Still thinking about which radio I want to get for my truck, but I am not in a rush for it.

Hmm, Matt isn't licensed? What is he waiting for...

call sign/radio

I had been checking for the past few days on the ARRL site for my call sign and finally gave up on it. Last night, I go to the final session of class and one of the instructors calls me up and asks me if I had my call sign yet, I said no. He looked it up and low and behold, there it was. Guess I gave up too early.

At any rate, my call sign is KF7OOF. OOF rather amusing. Everyone else in the class has a call sign of KJ6*** I was the only standout.

The free radio that we got were Yaesu FT-60R. They programmed them for everyone in the class, but I don't think I really like how they did it. So, going to get the software in a few weeks after I play around with it some.

Well, have a good weekend everyone.

Just for future reference...
FCC Universal License System search

will show license information before ARRL and other sites... it's the place to watch for new and updated licenses.
