Thanks BostonBob!   It was a great class and I really appreciated Clint's style of teaching.   Now if I can just find my 'radio voice'  and the right radio I'll be all set.   I used to be just a redneck, but now I'm a redneck geek!

Some of us will be going for our upgrades in Victorville on March 15 at 12:30pm, FYI.

As a side note, Hank's wife and my wife also scored 100% on their Technician class test as well. :2thumbsup: This must have been the braniac class. :)

My congratulations to everyone also!   :2thumbsup:

A lot of dedicated studying and a great 2 day class helped everyone prepare for the exam.  Thanks Clint and Susan.

Hope to hear you all on the air soon.

Remember that many of the 2m handhelds can also be used as a scanner.  You can scan some of frequencies that are used by fire, forest and other public assistance agencies in the area.

Listened to all the noobs on the scanner last night.  Congratulations.

If you haven't listened to the emergency net it is Sunday night at 6:00.

I am ready for the test...when the locations and times were announced I was "buffering."
