When you passed the FCC exam - you are an Amateur Radio Operator period --
plain and simple.
Whether you passed a 20 wpm code test or no code - you are a Ham
Whether you had to draw the schematic for a Colpitts Oscillator or not - you
are a Ham
Whether you faced the steely-eyed FCC examiner or a VE -- you are a Ham
Those who say otherwise are shrouded in elitism and a synonym for elitism
is snobbery - plain and simple
This is 2006, not 1920
CL
You got that right.
