Ok so I got that when I was 9 and I'm 38 now and it's long since lapsed. (and you still had to actually know some electronics and radio theory and actually had to *gasp* code, and no phone allowed, all just for a Novice class, and I had to take my test under a rutheless genius Advanced, in the snow, uphill both ways... .damned kids have it so easy these days buying a Technician's like damned cb license or a fishing license, "Amatuer Extra" that obsoletes the Advanced yet only requires 5wpm! 5??? ... 5! *disgust* .... 5 *sigh*)
VE3ZU here. Got my license 36 years ago and also had real tests, with essay questions, not multiple guess. Had to do code for a year, before going for Advanced license. With the first license, no phone on HF, though we could use it on VHF & above. -- Use OpenOffice.org http://www.openoffice.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
