Today I went up to Everett to take my General class license test, to upgrade my license to the next higher class. It was 35 questions multiple choice, and I passed it pretty easily. Then, I was encouraged then to take the Amateur Extra class exam, even though I hadn't studied for it and didn't know all of the material. Amazingly enough, I did know enough of the material to pass the test! So I got two upgrades today for the price of one. Everybody there at the testing session was amazed that I actually passed the exam - me most of all.

So now I guess I can do more than just listen on the HF bands. It is kind of nice to look at the band plan and not have to worry about which frequencies in the band I can and can't use... since I have all amateur radio operation privileges! Now I'll have to see how that Icom IC-706MkIIG really works...
