Carl got a post-restructuring Extra



After a Year of failing it.

BZZZZZZZZT ... wrong answer ... took it EXACTLY ONCE.

Not that I feel I owe Bruce (or anyone else, actually) an explaination,
but just to set the record straight about how full of BS Bruce is ...

I kept being busy with work, work travel, an elderly mother in
poor health and any number of other "excuses" and didn't get
around to going to a VE session until I did ... so what?

I finally decided to set the goal of going and upgrading by a certain
date.

I went to a VE session on a Friday evening, run by one of the
local ham clubs.

The session never happened because the VE who kept the
paperwork for the team had accidentally tossed all of the
forms while "cleaning out" the file box where he kept
the stuff.

I came home, got on the internet, and found a session the
next day (Sat morning, early) about 1-1/2 hour's drive from
home, got up early, drove down, took the test (1st one finished),
and walked out an Extra ... no sweat, no big deal.

Bruce got a post-restructuring Extra

And $250.00 from from some Dumb Cbers

Bruce makes fun of Carl's amateur license.

Because Carls License isnt worth the pasper its printed on.

Maybe Bruce's license is printed on "pasper" ... mine is
printed on paper (and laminated to protect it).

Carl does not distinguish between "real hams" and others.

ThaTs because Karl doesnt know the difference

One wonders how long Bruce has been licensed and active?
(I'm a member of QCWA ...)

Bruce says a sizable percentage of amateurs are not "real hams".

Just the New ones

I'm not a new one ... and Bruce is, as normal for him, full of
you-know-what.

Carl is actively trying to defeat the threat of BPL.

Thats a Joke

No, it's a very serious matter. If Bruce had a clue he'd know that.

Bruce doesn't give a damn about BPL.

THATS TRUE

That statement alone pretty well should give folks a good
idea of how much credence to give to Bruce's opinions.
