aSic application specific Premium join:2001-05-17 Wakulla, FL Reviews: ·Comcast	reply to KeysCapt Re: Just get your ticket? Let us know here! Oh duh. I forgot when I did it to post up. I remember asking about "online exams" last August.... I passed my General back in October 09. Hehe. Took all of my concentration to remember when the next local session was going to be. I went in, took General, finished in record time (only missed two!), and tried Extra, but failed. Doesnt surprise me as I never studied for it. Figured, its free, why not? I forgot to post up to this thread my accomplishment. I decided to keep my callsign. Still KE4SOX. Cheers! -- Teamwork is a lot of people doing what I say.

DC Broadband Stercus Tauri Premium join:2003-04-17 Stone Ridge, NY	reply to KeysCapt Passed my Technician exam with flying colors this morning. I was actually studying for it a couple of years ago but then I got married and moved and changed jobs, etc., so it got put on the back burner. Finally got around to it this morning though. There were about 10 people in the test session. Maybe half were new licenses and half were upgrades. I also took the General exam but failed it, which is not surprising since I didn't study for it! Out of all the newbs I was the only one to try it though. Hopefully my call sign will show in the database soon! Cheers! Doug -- Help find a cure. Join Team Helix & Team Discovery!!

toker815 join:2009-02-16 1 edit	reply to KeysCapt KC9SQR ---- Assigned today Flew through the Techie test with flying colors just last Saturday. The examiner said I would be listed as early as Tuesday, but low and behold I checked today just for kicks and there was my shiny new callsign. Gave me a warm fuzzy feeling inside, or was that the radio?? J/K 73 KC9SQR

TODDRICK join:2001-08-27 Milwaukee, WI Reviews: ·CYBERONIC INTERN..	congratulations and welcome to the tribe. I felt warm and fuzzy after each exam I took (could have been the beard but probably was stray rf). While you are on a roll start on the General study material. Contact with others will most likely generate a desire to get on hf. Seeing as field day is almost upon us check out where your local clubs are setting up their operation and visit several if possible. Be sure to operate the GOTA (get on the air) station if they run one. 73 Todd N9DRY

toker815 join:2009-02-16	said by DC Broadband: Finally showed up in the database! KC2YVJ 73's Congrats! I've had mine just under a week and I'm loving it so far... Even got in contact with a few old friends on the air.. You never know who you'll run into out there on the air waves... Also try not to worry too much if you make a mistake or two.. The other operators are usually more then willing to point them out, and help you learn.. After all the "new guy" is usually expected to make a mistake or two... Have fun with your new call sign.. 73 KC9SQR

DrStrange Technically feasible Premium join:2001-07-23 West Hartford, CT kudos:1 1 edit	reply to KeysCapt Passed elements 2, 3, and 4 tonight. I'll update when my callsign shows up in the database. There were 3 of us. Two left after passing the tech test and left me to pass general and extra on my own. I got a nice round of applause from the folks at the meeting of the local repeater association [exams are held an hour before the monthly meetings] for going from no ticket to extra in a bit under an hour. EDIT: Just showed up in the database this evening: AB1NH

Not yet on the air yet because I'm waiting for the funds for my first rig. I'll likely be on the air by the end of the month, though!

neonhomer KK4BFN Premium join:2004-01-27 Edgewater, FL	Funny thing is, the next local exam session is May 21st. The new question pool takes effect June 2011.... So I don't know if I should wait until after June, or try to get my General before June....

neonhomer KK4BFN Premium join:2004-01-27 Edgewater, FL 1 edit	I tried the general after I took the tech, and bombed it big time... missed 19 out of 35.. I am using web resources to study for the general. I will take it on 5/21... if I pass... great... if I don't, then I will probably buy the book for the general...
