I never would have done this if I had to learn code. I thank who ever
had the idea to give it the heave ho.

I had the technical knowledge back in the late 60s, but didn't get the
code up fast enough for the ticket I wanted, so got a CB back when they
were licensed. Had fun building antennas and bouncing around the world
on 5 watts, the only reason I wanted the ticket anyway.

Someone posted a link to a test here a while back and I discovered that
I still can pass the tests I want without cracking a book. Maybe will,
though I already have too many hobbies to keep up with.
