Congratulations, James! It's a definite accomplishment, and one to be proud of.
Heck, I even put it on my resume! (I found out after being hired in my current
position that my boss is a Tech-class, so having an Extra-class was a definite
brownie point.)

Re: Whaddayaknow... passed the Extra

Hi Bob,

Thanks for your email! Not sure what I'll do for an encore... I think I'm
pretty set for now. Perhaps my next move will involve buying another house
(sold my first one, and now in an apartment), where I can actually put up a
real antenna instead of my little MP-1 or Buddipole. :)

You're certainly in a situation that calls for some
innovative thinking to have a working antenna.
I hope the MP-1 and Buddipole at least let you get
on the air.
Best wishes for a new house with a good rf QTH.

Hi Mike,

Thanks for your email. Good deal on the brownie points! I however, even as
a new Extra don't impress some of my colleagues at work. One of them is the
station master for 4UN1UN (I work at the UN), so I have a lot to live up
too!

No Dick, that would be no code Extra, Extra-lite is 5 wpm. Glad to be able to clear that up for you. Don't matter, cause they all have the same privileges. ;-)

Since the code test is no longer administered, even if one were to request

And then there are a few of us "13-wpm Extras" who were Advanced class
until they changed the criteria, and then got an Extra on the basis of
our 5 wpm Novice licenses. I passed the Extra written about 4 times,
but never could stop thinking enough to get 20wpm.

Congratulations James, and if you want to practice your cw... email me.. or catch me on the air.. I'd be happy to match your speed, and practice with you... K?

And you know, there are a lot of extra's around that passed the written part, first.. then passed the cw test later.. and I don't necessarily mean the cw test administered at the test session.. although there were some that did that too... but the cw test that comes around ever qso.. and that is simply having a fun converstation with someone.

Good for you James, hang in... and if you care to try cw for speed .... try a bit of a contest here and there... that works pretty well too...

Hope to see you in my log one day too...

Re: Whaddayaknow... passed the Extra

In reply to this post by Dick Dievendorff

I couldn't agree with you more, Dick. What really impresses me is the
number of obviously new extras I hear on the air sending very slow speed CW.
It almost sounds like the old novice band. Obviously, they are learning CW,
much like many of us learned CW by finding the courage to practice new found
skills during on the air qsos. My hat is off to those operators. They are
attempting to become proficient in CW not because they were required to but
because they really want to. That is real motivation and they should be
congratulated for it. Come on, the CW versus no CW war is long over. Times
change. Need change. It's way past time for us to also change.
