[Elecraft] I am officially a HAM!!!

[Clay Autery]

To Jim:

If I can get my life to settle down a bit, I plan to inhale the Extra
information and test on February 20th at one of my local clubs.
I took it blind on the same day I took the General, but missed passing
it by a few questions.... which I don't mind...  I'd rather
take/pass/ace it after I feel better about having mastered the required
information.

To ALL:

Thank you all for the Congrats, well wishes, the stories, and everything
else.  I love that something so basic as communication can draw and bind
together such a broad population, the young and old, rich and poor, next
door or literally half-way 'round the globe.

I've spent a good deal of my life choosing up sides in conflicts...
sometimes even wearing a distinctive suit to denote which side I was on
and carrying weapons to drive home my point.

I'd like to finish out my time, however long that might be, enjoying
people and hopefully being a help.

I think this might be one way to make that happen.

May you ALL be blessed beyond your capacity to contain.  May your
harvest be so abundant that you provide seed for others to plant that we
ALL may be fed.

Have a wonderful day!
