Phony's can ignore. This question doesn't apply to no-codes.


Nickle Generals and Extras:

If the 13 and 20 wpm CW exams came back and you had to pass the proper
code exam for your class to renew, 13 wpm for general, 20 wpm for extra,
would you renew your license?


Yes, I would. I admit it would take a bit of practice to get back to
20 wpm, but I would do it.

Ya know what they say, if ya don't use it - ya lose it. We seem to lose
track of more than code. Many lose track of some of the theory, formulas and
so on they've learned to get their license. There are times you don't seem
to need it, but just when you do - you stumble for it. It is best to "try"
to stay as active as you can in some aspect of radio. It is a shame to
study, test, get your license only to let it all be for naught. Even by
going through the news groups and reading the "tech" aspects of repairing
and so on, you can at least keep that part of it alive.

Just my 2 cents.
