[Elecraft] Whaddayaknow... passed the Extra

[Ron D'Eau Claire]

Time was one could not even apply for an Extra class license until they had
several years of on-air experience. 

That's one requirement I'm sorry they dropped.

Hi Jim and Don,

 You hit it on the head Don, and if I may, add a bit... 

Because the Extra test isn't as techie as it was, it isn't held in as high
esteem as it has. In some circles, the Extra license would hold much more,
than the Commercial First would, in years gone by. I would find an Extra in
the job app stack, and with a couple questions, be able to discern if it
were a memo license, or the real deal...  .. understand this was "then"...
and even now the license on the resume will still retain enough interest to
inspire a question or two from the interviewer, and the more time in the
interview....

thanks,
