 @Julius D Haversack I see.  Never heard of this one.Sorry 
 @3e6503cb 

Not a problem.  Happy to clarify. 
 @Julius D Haversack TY! 
 @3e6503cb 

really though, I do strongly encourage you to do it.  Of all the tests I’ve taken, this was easy and opens some weird doors sometimes.  In my case it gave me extra money every paycheck.  $25 I think and the test was quite cheap, so it paid for itself almost instantly.  Plus the renewal is something like ten years. 
 @Julius D Haversack What do you do for a living? 
 @Julius D Haversack  I spent 17 years as a scanner enthusiast.  Some of the info I already know.  It should be easy to pass.  I'd really like to be a technician by the end of 2024.  This would be cool! 
 @Julius D Haversack  You made me very curious last night.  When the Mt Wilson Repeater went quiet for an hour I tried keying up. for just one second.  I was able to connect to it and heard it disconnect.  

I'm 19 miles from another repeater and can activate that too.

Doesn't mean they can hear what I say, but I think that is something good to note.
