I guess spelling and the use of capital letters isn't part of the test?

ditto!

they are still doing the tech special for $20.....of course, she prolly could use your account to study General and pass both....If and when I get time on the books, I'll use again for Extra.

The Kenwood TS-590S is a wonderful rig. I like the fact that it has the built in modem for the digital modes. All you need is a USB cable and you are good to go.
