<DIV>I am code dyslexic so never licensed but built
equipment for all my friends that were</DIV>
<DIV>didn't bother me much, after the things were air tested I wanted to
go build something else most times anyway.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Broadcast was always my interest when I was young and
then cam a strong fascination with microwaves, both for communication
and also radar.</DIV>

Ted,<BR>I just took the exam today, and as I understand it, I don't get my
call <BR>for about a week or so when it shows up on the internet.<BR>One of
the reasons I wanted to get my license is sort of a tribute to my <BR>dad, who
taught me so much about broadcasting over the years.<BR>He passed away in
2004, and I'm going to try and get his old call, <BR>which, as of today is
still listed as available. Apparently, I can <BR>apply for it as soon as
I get my first call next week.<BR>What I really want to eventually do is find
a vintage 1kw AM broadcast <BR>transmitter, and put that on 160 meters.
I love those
things!<BR>Guy<BR></FONT></BLOCKQUOTE></DIV></FONT></DIV></FONT></BODY></HTML>
