It's in the experiences of other hams such as Gene, N2JTV, who served
WITH me at the same time.

Too bad Gene didn't get a chance to read some of the cowardly crap you
pulled in here.

He still can if he bothers to look in from home in Long Island. :-)

I don't know why he would. Although he's been a REAL extra for a
long time, this forum's basic content is NURSIE shouting, hollering,
and yell-yelling at everyone else! As well as talking NATIONAL
POLITICS, THE ECONOMY, SPACE BUSINESS, and other
wonderful subjects where the "qualifications" require high-rate
morsemanship.

A "real" Extra?

Sheesh, Lennie, I've had mine for almost 24 years now. Doesn't
get much more real than that.

Your friend couldn't have had his any sooner than 1982 or 83,
judging by the callsign. His is not a vanity callsign, so it was
issued sequentially. The sequential system was introduced in 1978. I
have no idea how quickly the 1x3 block in 2-land filled up, but I
think its safe to say that N2JTV wasn't issued before 1983 or later.

What happened Lennie?

Trip and stub your toe after this?

Tried to pull yet another fast one and got tripped up over that
"LACK OF PRACTICAL EXPERIENCE" thing...Of course it's been discussed
in here on more than one occassion, and HAD you been paying atention,
you MIGHT have clued yourself in.

You have yet to explain how your friend's Extra Class license is
any more "real" than anyone elses. I checked Part 97, and I didn't
find one single sentence that suggests that his license has so much as
one cycle more of "realness" than mine or anyone elses.

Of course compared to YOUR Amateur license, his IS more "real"...
