Jewish Ham

I went down and took my Technician class Amateur Radio licensing test today, and passed it with (if I was reading the answer sheet upside down correctly) a perfect 35 out of 35.

So then they said, “Do you want to take the General?  It’s free!”  Like a dope, I said, sure, why not.  Didn’t pass that; got 25 out of 35, but considering that I’ve never even looked at the book or study guide for the General class license, I’m thinking that’s not too awfully terrible.  And I think I’m going to go take that one again in June.

So yes, I am (or will be when my license clears the FCC database) a Jewish Ham.

Thank you, I’ll be here all week.  Try the veal.

Of course, now I’m sitting here listening to the chatter on the 700 repeater and I’m wondering what the point is; the three guys talking are some of the biggest libertarian whiners I’ve ever heard.  I have nothing against libertarians but I do have a lot against whiners.
