I finally took the test and past the tech test.

Took the general test but didn't get it.

Hopefully my callsign will be in soon!

Congrats! I can clearly remember the excitement and anticipation waiting for my license and callsign, even though it was more than forty years ago...

Congrats.

The FT60 is a great radio. It's one of the few that will operate at full power on the AA battery pack.

Congrats! If you can pass the Tech, you can pass General with a little study.

See you on the bands.
