[Qcwa] QCWA Journal on the Web

[Dick Thompson]

Costs on everything have risen so much, Bob, so I fully understand.  I'm
anxiously awaiting my first one.

I looked you up on qrz.com.  We were licensed about the same time.  I hold
an Advanced.  Have just never tried for Extra except once and failed
miserably.  If the ARRL petition goes through it looks like I could be
grandfathered into Extra.  I'm not too proud to accept it.  I had the
privileges once and then they were taken away with restructuring, so I feel
I've earned it.  And I can copy code at 20-25 plus.

Thanks for the explaination on the journal, Bob.

73,

Dick
