[TriLUG] Ham Operators

Sat Dec 7 15:45:51 EST 2013

William, Aaron,.. Thanks

Steve .. I only missed 3 on the Technician exam. They didn't tell me
how many I missed on the General and since I had only looked at the
study guide for General the last two days, my thought was that I
barely made it.

The only area that concerned me was atmospherics, sunspots and ham
procedures, regulations.

Electronics, computers, and similar subjects were part of my work for
many years.

Now to start thinking of inexpensive ham gear.

Have a good weekend.
