It’s official – I’m a HAM!!

At 10:00 AM 29-AUG-2019, I finally did it.

The 1 hour drive into San Antonio was uneventful and not at all noteworthy.

Parking my car at the testing sight and walking into the test center was a completely different matter.

All the Elmers were nice enough, but all business with regards to getting the paperwork started, the tests handed out the administration. I’d studied hard for weeks, poured through Gordon West’s Technician’s class. In the end it all paid off with me missing just 1 of 35 questions on the test.

So it’s official.. no longer just a listener. It took just about 2 weeks for the FCC to post my ticket. I wasted little time applying for my state Amateur Operator auto license plate tags.

Now, time to charge up the Baofengs and start keying up!
