2009 Ham Radio Class

[cougar337]

Thanks to everyone that put the class on! I wasn't able to make the test due to having surgery and recovering but I will be taking one of the upcoming tests in the next week or 2. Thanks to all especially Nathaniel for making this so fun and easy to learn. I cant wait for my own call sign and the chance to get on the horn.

congrats to all that passed!

"Holy Ragchew!!" 20 new Hams is AWSOME... Great job !!
Look what you started Nathaniel!! Hams were once a minority in the Club, and are fast becoming the majority...

Thanks for a great class guys. Looking forward to using the new skills.

Thanks

Thank you. I attended two of the classes and then took my test from the Boulder Amateur Radio Club. I passed both Technicial and General. Looking forward to getting on the air.

You know this is cool. I have been putting this off cuz a mountain of other things to do. But this is cool. Haven't taken a test like that for many many years. Nathaniel and crew you made this very comfortable and realistically possible.

Now for the actual radio protocol. That should be fun.

Thank you very much.

My crystal ball says today. Sometimes it is on another time zone, so maybe as late as tomorrow.

You guys were right, I got a 2 in my callsign instead of a 0. Thanks for letting me take the test.

 

[rover67]

Woohoo!!!!

Damn, not I gotta wire this thing up.

perfect project for tomorrow!!!!!!!!!

 

[Groucho]

Congratulations to everyone again. I hope to hear everyone on the air ASAP, and I always give an open initiation to operate from my station (whether mobile or at the house) whenever we can. We'll get everyone upgraded in no time!

So if you want to work HF, gimme a PM.

 

[Groucho]

Boy, I hope nunya try to do a lot of contesting on CW...

This is a useful tool when trying to figure out how long it will take to send a call sign using CW. The greater the weight of the call the longer it will take to send it. Just as an FYI, my call sign weight is 54.

Boy, thanks for posting up my call sign. I couldn't get the data link that Ricardo posted to give me anything. So this is not a good sign. Can't even get your call sign by myself. Can't wait to attempt a vanity call sign. That should really mess me up. Maybe just stick with what I got.

You can add my call sign to the list - KD0GVJ. I am going to try to get my old call sign back K3UGR. Off to HRO today.
