Out of 120 questions, I missed 6 (counting the marks made by the

satisfactory to me with 95 percent correct. I've got a little chart
of bandplans and don't expect to get to outer space to operate
satellites. :-)

Hi Len,

The bandplan frequencies and satellite operations are a real issue with
me. I always thought that better questions were available, since like
you note, you look at a chart. I do too.

Mike, I agree with you but don't see it as anything worth arguing
about.

At least with the band plans, the better question for the test would be
to see if the testee knew where to look them up.

That could be a solution. I'm still wondering about all those space
questions, though. Like there's not going to be many DXepiditions
to earth orbit specifically for radio amateurs.. :-)
