Hi Todd,

I could make a comment about the fact that you had to pass a CW test for
the Advanced, but I won't!  I realized that fact after I upgraded from
Advanced a while back and became an "Extra-lite"!

It's all fun, right? ;-)

It could be worse: you could hold a license class below Extra that
doesn't even exist anymore. I'm still an Advanced class while all my
buddies are Extras. They do give me a bit of good-natured ribbing
about it, reminding me that at least the General Class still exists!

Congrats on the upgrade. I look forward to working you on the bands soon
