Yeah.. I did pass the Appliance Operators exam.. then went right on to
take and pass the General class, and the Extra, all within 6 months.

This is really going to **** you off, too...

The only thing I had to study for was the CODE. The rest of it was
knowledge I'd gained while operating CB.. Now granted I got the
questions about the Band Limits wrong, on the Tech and the General,
But that wasn't a big deal... I only missed 1 on the Extra, and I'm
relatively sure it's because I got the +j/-j sign backwards.

Hrm.. Methinks I struck a nerve with my definition...

Keyclownism(n): 1. The beliefs of a few disgruntled no-code tech
Amateur Radio Operators who aren't accepted on the air in the HAM
bands. 2. The belief that trashing a newsgroup, where people who
REALLY are in the know tried to help people who didn't in a civil,
intelligent, calm manner, will make one whit of difference in the
on-air activities of certain CB'ers, HAMS, and other radio operators.




A few no codes ?/ who are they dickhead?? you passed the appliance
operators exam.

really are there questions about swing and bird watts on the tests now LOL

When was the last time you took the practice tests on QRZ?

Go take the Tech, General, and Extra written elements, see how you do,
then come back and talk to me. I never talked about bird watts. I
never thought a Bird meter was all that special.

I did talk about swing, but I found out I was misinformed. I learned,
and not thanks to the AKC, but thanks to people who wanted to show me,
rather than insult me. Bees with Honey, and all that.

Now, if you'd care to quit being insulting, break down, and have an
INTELLIGENT conversation about the ways we can show the illegal
operators exactly what's right and what's wrong, and the best ways to
"get out" without breaking the rules, then let me know. Otherwise,
I'll play your silly game, and every time I see a piece of drivel come
out in a post from one of the AKC, I'll jump on it and show where
you're wrong.

The people in this newsgroup aren't stupid, they're misinformed. The
AKC should realize that, and take a different tack.
