After a couple of weeks of intensive study, I successfully upgraded my amateur radio license from General to Amateur Extra!
Once it shows up in the FCC database in about a week or so, I’ll apply to for a vanity call sign which I’m told takes about 3 weeks and then I can get an amateur radio license plate and work at becoming a VE and be able to give exams to others.
I’m especially pleased that Connie/NR4CB was able to be one of the VEs at today’s test and signed on my paperwork again. She was there when I got my General and signed my paperwork back then and did the same for me today.
I guess I have to see about getting an HF radio now and start surfing the bands.
