Is a contact with a no-code ham a real QSO?
Talking to a "no code" is like addressing someone given an honorary degree
as "doctor." |

I sat for & took the Tech, passed and they mentioned I could take the General. Great. Passed that one as well. Working on Morse now. Missed the Extra, though, by a few questions. Was my first shot at any exam. Neither a Tech nor a General makes one a Ham, though. Nor Morse. That only qualifies you to be a good student of the avocation. I don't expect to be really good at ham radio until I've played around with a transceiver for a year or two, maybe. Still need to learn the lingo, learn electronics, get my feet wet, build a receiver and maybe a transmitter, blow up a few caps..you know, OJT. Plus lots of hamfests where I'll be looking for a cute hamette. When I finally DO get a rig of some kind, I sorta kinda might be Ready for going after QSOs. Even from folks who think I've got an honorary degree. Good DX & 73, Terry, KC9KEL newly minted |
