   CONGRATS...and to the fellow who is stymied by the EXTRA technical stuff.  I
   was too, but realized there is no way I could learn it all.  You can miss 13
   questions, so I just sorta tried to learn the majority parts of it.  And
   sure enuf, I missed the questions on the stuff I did not know.  But it was
   more than enuf to PASS.  And no one ever asks how many questions did you
   answer correctly in a QSO!  

That's one approach- I took the opportunity to learn stuff that was
hard, and I was probably never going to use (unfortunately, some of it
has slipped my mind since).

I just studied for and took some commercial radio license exams, that
I'm probably never going to use, but the studying process was as much
the goal as learning this interesting stuff.  And the piece of paper
on the wall means as much as the rest of the wallpaper and plaques
I've gotten from this hobby.

And I keep thinking I'm going to get over the CW obstacle.
