[SixClub] new general ticket.

[larry fields]

 I do not wish to make this sound like a put down, I
tried to get first licensed in 1972 and just like most
figured I couldn't past the code either so I gave up
but didnt last long as the Ham bug kept kicking me and
finally just sat down and listened over and over till
I got it down..i took the 5 here in Hawaii and the 13
in SF. 

There are times I wish they would let the General
automatically upgrade to Extra's as I have problems
with the Math programs but figure if you want it bad
enough your gonna get it.

73's from Hawaii
