Off Subject: Ham Radio

[John Ferrell]

It is likely that all of the code requirements will soon go away. The Extra 
Class Theory test really is not all that hard for anyone who knows how to 
study a little. The test environment is friendly and inexpensive. The goal 
of the examiners is to get you through rather than try to see if they can 
disqualify you!

The costs of a good HF setup are less than a Pattern Airplane and you can 
use it all winter long.
My 100 Watts into a 3 element beam works the whole world on 20 &10.

Federal Law is on the side of the Ham when it comes to antennas. That don't 
mean it is OK to annoy your neighbors, but it does mean they have to be 
reasonable!
