On Tuesday I picked up this...
...and today I sat for the Technician Element 2 test and passed it!! I'll get my call sign sometime in the next 10-14 days. The volunteer examiner asked if I wanted to take the General Element 3 test at no extra charge, so I said sure, why not. Even a blind squirrel finds a few acorns, and while i did not pass the General Exam, I did manage to get 18 out of 35 correct. They offer testing the first Saturday of the even numbered months, so I might go back in February and see if I can pass that one. Now I just need to figure out how to operate my $55 2-meter radio...
