[R-390] Old dogs and new tricks

Mon, 25 Feb 2002 22:09:48 -0800

Congrats Jeff!

When I was learning code I was 12, riding around in the car I VERY rapidly
grew proficient by sending every thing I saw: billboards, street signs,
you-name-it. I passed Novice at my junior high school then two months later
I had a chance to go downtown (LA) and dropped in (!) and passed the General
before the Novice ticket had arrived! There were many much older guys who
dropped out after the code exam who probably would have passed had they
developed the habit of sending every thing they saw. It's a habit I can
still fall into almost forty years later. (forget the dopes who stare at you
just because you're sounding funny...)

Best Wishes,

Bob Tetrault, ex WB6NOG General, 1964, ex WB6BXU Advanced, 1974

Good evening all,
As many of you know, I'm a collector and fan of R390A's and Collins gear,
but am unlicensed.
Well, I broke down and passed my Technician tonight.  (Since I already paid
my ten bucks, I also took the next exam, so I ALSO passed my General
(written) tonight)  Guess I need to break down and finish the code
now.  Anyone have a suggestion on where to start?  Are the tapes/CD any
good?
Cheers, Jeff
